Non-Fiction Memoir
Susan Spencer-Wendel’s Until I Say Good-Bye: My Year of
Living with Joy is a moving and inspirational memoir by
a woman who makes the most of her final days after
discovering she has amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
(ALS). After Spencer-Wendel, a celebrated journalist
at the Palm Beach Post, learns of her diagnosis of
ALS, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, she
embarks on several adventures, traveling toseveral countries
and sharing special experiences with loved ones. One trip
takes Spencer-Wendel and her fourteen-year-old daughter,
Marina, to New York City’s Kleinfeld’s Bridal to shop for
Marina’s future wedding dress—an occasion that Susan knows
she will never see. Co-written with Bret Witter,
Until I Say Good-Bye is Spencer-Wendel’s account of
living a full life with humor, courage, and love, but also
accepting death with grace and dignity. It’s a celebration
of life, a look into the face of death, and the effort we
must make to show the people that we love and care about how
very much they mean to us.
