MY LAST DAY
Synopsis
When Wall Street bond trader Robert “Rob” Sanctus is told he has three months to live, he declines treatment and decides to face the end on his own terms while chronicling his final thirty-six hours of life. But, as he wanders through New York City those last two days, life has other plans. An attempted mugging becomes an unlikely moment of grace. A box of Girl Scout cookies turns into a chain reaction of kindness. A small Brooklyn bartender offers unexpected wisdom, and a mysterious church opens a door to a peace he thought he’d long lost. Through a series of raw, humorous, and profoundly human encounters, Rob finds himself rediscovering faith, compassion, the guiding hand of God, and the simple power of choosing to care—one stranger, one act of kindness at a time. Told through Rob’s intimate journal, which is book-ended by a forward and an afterword from a financial advisor, My Last Day is a moving meditation on regret, redemption, and what it really means to live while you’re alive.

Will he have the courage to accept a gentle nudge from above?
