This book is about death: how we approach it, and how families, and those breathing their last, might deal with it. While the author has been surrounded by death for decades, putting these words to “paper” was the result of the impending death of a friend and colleague, a professor of political science and a fighter for social and economic justice.

To all appearances, their life seemed ideal. But it was, in fact, all appearances.
