Non-Fiction Biography
Written by Deborah Ziegler, the mother of Brittany Maynard—a
twenty-nine-year-old woman with a terminal brain tumor—this
touching and beautiful memoir captures and celebrates her
daughter’s spirit and the mostly untold story of Brittany's
last year of life as she chose her right to die with
dignity, a journey that inspired millions. On October 6, 2014, a video of my daughter, Brittany
Maynard, was posted on YouTube. Brittany asked me to do the
video with her, to support her. The first words my daughter
uttered on the film were, “The thoughts that go through your
mind when you find out you have so little time is everything
you need to say to everyone that you love.” Wearing a simple black sweater, her face already rounded and
puffy from taking prescribed steroids, her once waist-length
hair now grazing her shoulders after a craniotomy, Brittany
described why she was choosing to end her life by her own
hand rather than waiting for her brain tumor to rob her of
everything that defined who she was. In this poignant, powerful book, Deborah Ziegler makes good
on the promise she made to her only child: that she would
honor her daughter and carry forward her legacy by sharing
their story and offering hope, empowerment, and inspiration
to the growing tens of millions of people who are struggling
with end-of-life issues.
