Until the Beat Stops

Inspirational, intelligent, romantic, and empowering - a book that renews a sense of joy and hope in the inevitable. Lilac Hawthorn was on a quest to create a startup designed to fill the hole in her heart left from the loss of both her parents to cancer, only to succeed in filling the holes in millions of people's hearts as well as future generations to come.

The First Hill, an online platform originally created to help breast cancer patients deal with the ambiguity of their future, not only helped the patients live longer but also helped them find a renewed sense of purpose in life. Ten years later, The First Hill transformed into a site for all walks of life to live forever by creating unique digital stories which live eternally.

Follow James Franklin as he documents the inspirational stories of Lilac and her four best friends as they share their stories of perseverance, strength, and hope. Dealing with mortality and following the path in life that no one wants to walk down-each character faces death head on, accepting it as the inevitable close friend we each wish to walk alongside us, reminding each of us to embrace every day as the beautiful gift it is.

Until the Beat Stops is a gripping story of how a CEO, a scientist, a singer, a photographer, and a furniture maker alter the song of life forever by turning pain into something constructive to help-all of us.

Live, Love, Believe, Create... Until the Beat Stops.


Until the Beat Stops is available at select indie book stores and on Amazon.com.
