Jack Dunning was just a poor kid from Pittsburgh, no better or worse than any other. When he met Richard, it seemed to be a one-sided friendship; Jack needing Richard much more than the other way around. As the years passed however, it became clear to them both just how important their friendship was, eventually culminating in both learning the hardest lesson in life; that every day is a gift and you should treat each one as though it were your last.

Spanning half a dozen different locations throughout the United States and a few around the world, Every Day is Your Last follows the lives of two boys, their friends, and their families. Combining the elements of a 'buddy story' and romance novel in an exhaustively researched period piece covering twenty-five years, the story describes average American life in the latter part of the twentieth century through the beginning of the twenty-first. It's written as a companion story to the novel, Lost Faith.
