Never Better

Never Better is about a cancer diagnosis that eats away at an entire family, and a story of survival told one hazy memory at a time.

Gonzalo is married to his high school sweetheart, Erica. With one child and another on the way, they purchase their first home and the future looks rosy. Unfortunately, things take a turn for the worse when they discover Erica has terminal cancer during a routine ultrasound. What follows is a heart-rending journey that is equal parts sad and hilarious as Gonzalo prepares his newborn for life as he simultaneously says goodbye to his dying wife. A memoir told in fragments, Never Better is a story about reconciling hope with tragedy and doing the best with the cards you've been dealt when you're a widowed single father of two sons under two.
