‘I suppose I realized then what this was doing to me because the cancer wasn’t just inside my mum. No, somehow it was eating me up from the inside out and I wasn’t even sick. At least not in the way that counts.’

Juliana Harper led an ordinary, healthy life that is until she is diagnosed with leukemia. Her entire family is affected in different ways as they struggle to continue leading normal lives. Each member of Juliana’s family must overcome themselves before they can truly be there for Juliana. Their grief paints them the same colour, but they couldn’t be further apart. This is not so much a story of cancer, but a story of how cancer affected this family’s relationships and their way of life.

Can they pick up the broken pieces of their lives or will Juliana’s cancer threaten to destroy them all completely?



Told from four different perspectives, All That We Are is the story of a family trying to survive a loved one’s cancer whilst they also endeavour to solve their own, individual problems.
