UNTIL I SAY GOOD-BYE

Susan Spencer-Wendel

Susan Spencer-Wendel, a journalist, wife and mother of three was diagnosed in 2011 with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). With the time she has left, Susan has set out to make each day important and memorable for herself and her loved ones. This account of her adventures and what she draws from them is both moving and inspirational. Like The Last Lecture, Susan’s book is a celebration of living.

When New York publisher Will Schwalbe’s mother was diagnosed with cancer, he went with her to her treatments. To while away the time in the hospital they distracted themselves with talk of the books they’d read and shared and recommended and, in Will’s case, sometimes pretended to read.
