A red fox and a dormouse joyfully play in the forest while the season changes from summer to autumn. Soon, the dormouse must hibernate, and the friends will part. Before the long sleep, the fox tries to keep the dormouse awake. Sleep indeed must come, but not before the friends have found a way to accept the inevitable . . . and make a promise to be together again in the spring. This gentle friendship story is the perfect allegory for bedtime . . . and the reassuring message is clear - "I will be there for you when you wake."

'Until that moment, I hadn't realized how much I'd been needing to meet someone I might be able to say everything to.'They met at a party. It was hate at first sight. Ruth was far too beautiful, too flamboyant. Not at all Ann's kind of person. Until a chance encounter in the bathroom led to an alliance of souls. Soon they were sharing hankies during the late showing of Sophie's World, wolfing down sundaes sodden with whipped cream, telling truths of marriage, mortality and love, secure in a kind of intimacy no man could ever know. After years of shared secrets, guilty pleasures, family life and divorce, they face a crisis that redefines the meaning of friendship and unconditional love. This is the story of Ruth. Of Ann. And of all of us who wonder what we'd say if we knew we didn't have forever.
