I would like to inform readers of this list about my non-profit project to
promote dying with dignity. I have written a novel that explores the thorny
issue of assisted dying within the framework of the universal themes of
overcoming adversity, finding and losing love and coping with grief and
fear. The book also includes a non-fiction Appendix with essays on advance
directives, jury nullification and references to dying with dignity groups
and scholarly works on end of life choices. It is entitled A COURAGEOUS
BATTLE and is for sale now on www.amazon.com at $19.95 and is also available
to read for free as a PDF on my website www.susanbracken.ca. Early reviews
of the book have been good and some are shown below. If you like what I have
done you can help further my efforts by telling friends and associates about
it (it makes a great gift), by asking for it at your library, and by posting
a note about it on your websites and emailing your contact lists.
Here are the comments:
“A busy book, rich in life and love, ending with a graceful death.” Derek
Humphry, best-selling author of *Final Exit*
“Bracken cleverly harnesses the romance novel genre to draw the reader into
confrontation with the realities of disease and demise. The novel addresses
important contemporary issues and is challenging and thought-provoking. The
Appendix provides an outstanding “compendium of factual information about
end of life choices”*,* and adds to the value of this book.” Jerry Metz,
M.D., Medical Director, Final Exit Network
“A tragic and joyful story of death, desire, loss, and renewal. A good
read.” Russel Ogden, Dept. of Sociology, Kwantlen Polytechnic University,
B.C.
“An engaging book about courageous people. Reminds us that not all battles
are fought on foreign fields.” James R. Davis, author, *The Sharp End: A
Canadian Soldier's Story*
