Christine Goldstrom has never tried to bring someone to God before and she cannot understand why her minister sent her to Gary Burton. Rude, insulting and highly intelligent, he makes every visit painful. She refuses to give up; she has too many reasons for coming to stop.
Gary Burton, a former prisoner dying of AIDS, looks forward to death. Weighed down by his past, he has only one friend and that is with the woman who runs the hostel he stays in. When Christine starts visiting, he does everything to push her away but can't bring himself to tell her not to come. Christine is dangerous, bringing up things from his past he spent too long trying to bury. Bringing up feelings he has not had for a decade.
Soon Christine's entire world is centred on Gary. Warned by friends and family about her obsession, she ignores them and keeps delving into his past. What she uncovers will cause her to challenge everything she has ever known and how she sees herself, her faith and even death itself.
There is only one possible ending to this story and before the last conversation, Christine and Gary will learn the two most important lessons of all. Without love, life has no meaning and dying is all about living as much as you can until you can’t.
The Last Conversation is a novel told almost entirely in dialogue; two people meeting and over time, finding solace in each other before the end.
