What is Before I Say Goodbye : Recollections and Observations from One Woman's Final Year : Recollections and Observations from One Woman's Final Year about?

<p>By turns humorous and heart-rending, an unforgettable account of a young woman's spiritual triumphs over breast cancer in the last year of her life</p> <p>Ruth Picardie was only thirty-three when she died, a month after her twins' second birthday and just under a year after she was first diagnosed with breast cancer. For Ruth, a journalist, it seemed natural to write about her illness. She published only five columns for <i>Observer Life</i> magazine before she became too sick to continue, but her moving, funny, and very human account drew a huge response from readers all over England.</p> <p><i>Before I Say Goodbye</i> juxtaposes these columns with correspondence from readers, e-mails to her friends, letters to her children, and reflections by her husband and her sister. The result is a courageous and moving book, entirely devoid of self-pity, that celebrates the triumph of a brave and wonderful woman's spirit. An international bestseller in England, Picardie's sobering yet ultimately life-affirming book is destined to become a classic.</p>
