Amy and Brian's world was changed forever with his diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer's. Forced to confront the daily frustrations and realities of the disease and its impact on their lives and marriage, Brian resolved not to let it dictate his life and instead asked himself: what makes life meaningful, and how do I want to live the rest of mine? His decision led them to learn about Dignitas and to fly to Zèurich for a peaceful ending of Brian's life.
What The Reviewers Say
Amy Bloom and Brian Ameche were a handsome couple. I know this not because there’s a photograph of them in Bloom’s new memoir.
... deeply stirring.
... [a] beautiful, poignant, darkly funny new memoir.
Bloom's memoir certainly isn't run-of-the-mill.
