Young writer Vera buries her grandmothers, who were like parents to her. She often contemplates divorce, but she hesitates to make a change until she is diagnosed with a malignant lung tumor. Vera doesn't know the outcome of the surgery or whether she'll be able to see her young son grow up, but she resolves to fight to the very end.

"The Kingdom of Heaven Is Mine" is a hybrid of several genres: personal history, classic nature prose, and essays. The narrative centers on movement as a process and a journey: from illness to remission, from a doomed marriage to self-determination, from vulnerability to the restoration of inner balance. In discussing cancer, Vera Bogdanova places her own experience within the broader context of the natural environment of central Russia. Pine forests, fields, a river, and a dacha become a living space of memory, a reminder of the importance of cherishing the time we have.
