"Zoe
Carter is a luminous writer with a dramatic story to tell. With wisdom,
poetry, and dark humor, Zoe describes her ailing mother’s courageous
decision to end her life. In years to come, plenty of sons and
daughters will face the same moral and practical dilemmas as Zoe’s

invaluable resource, as well as remain a fascinating, fabulously
compelling read." Jennifer Finney Boylan, author of She’s Not There
