Beschreibung
As Parkinson's Disease attacks his brain and body, David Zimberoff, an uncompromising intellectual who loves his family and has much to live for, fears his downward trajectory will end with him losing his mind and burdening his children. To avoid this torment and ensure he leaves on his terms, David makes the agonizing decision to fly halfway across the globe to end his life with medical assistance.

His choice begins a journey with his son, Daniel, which exposes past wounds and raises questions on how to live and how to die. Their story explores the transformation of a father and son's relationship and the heart-wrenching issues surrounding assisted dying. Nearing his scheduled death, David faces his greatest challenge: can he find the healing and closure both he and Daniel seek before time runs out?

As more people with terminal illnesses or intolerable suffering grapple with how to end their lives peacefully, this unapologetic memoir sets aside political and religious debates of assisted dying to illustrate that at the root of such a decision is the desire to leave this world with love, grace, and dignity.

Über den Autor
Daniel Zimberoff is a Top Gun graduate, combat veteran, and former trial attorney turned author and advocate. After his father's decision to pursue an assisted death, Dan became a voice to help establish the right for those with terminal illness or intolerable suffering to choose a dignified death. When not advocating or writing, he can be found spending time with his wife Salima and their daughter, Ellie, and his adult children Levi and Ariel, or playing beer league hockey in Toronto, Canada. Compelled by his father's last wish, this memoir marks his debut work of narrative nonfiction.
