"Final Lullaby is a courageous, poetic exploration of a
controversial and emotionally-charged topic. At turns uncomfortable and
celebratory, artistic and thought provoking, this is an important
novel." -Brian Kaufman, author of Sins in Blue
"Many of us are one bad death away from becoming a right-to-die
activist."
Angela Alexander, a New England bookshop owner and support talk-line
volunteer, is dedicated to listening to people without her own filter
getting in the way. Though her life is full and satisfying, she faces
the ultimate dilemma after her husband Tucker - an exuberant bird
photographer and blues musician - is harmed by medical malpractice
during a routine hernia repair. Left in intractable pain, he struggles
to focus on any shred of quality of life. When Tucker expresses the
desire to end his life before he loses full autonomy, Angela has to
decide to support him in that decision, or not.
