When Anthony Sobb's beloved wife, Kim, was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, the couple made a courageous decision: they would not be defined by the prognosis but would instead fight for every moment together.
Their story, one of unyielding love, unrelenting hope, and the courage to face life's most profound challenges, is captured in Anthony's moving new memoir, My Business is Now North.
This profoundly personal narrative chronicles Anthony's journey from the devastating diagnosis through to the heartbreaking loss of his wife. It is both a love story and a testament to the strength of the human spirit when confronted with unimaginable adversity.
Anthony and Kim pushed every boundary in their pursuit to cherish each moment while also facing the fear and uncertainty of Kim's illness head-on.
After losing the love of his life, Anthony found himself in a place of unimaginable grief. Yet, with three sons depending on him, he navigated through the darkness, seeking hope and purpose amidst the pain.
My Business is Now North is a story of finding a way forward when the path seems lost and discovering the possibility of healing even when the heart is shattered.
It is a compelling exploration of grief and love.
The book's title is an adaptation of the final line of a speech given by Colonel Tim Collins of the British Army before troops entered Iraq in the second Gulf War. For Anthony Sobb, it embodied a sense of purpose, commitment, and direction and became his mindset in fighting alongside Kim.
