Wild and precious life / Deborah Ziegler. by Ziegler, Deborah, 1956- Emily Bestler Books/Atria, c2016. Call #: 362.19699481 Z62w Subjects Maynard, Brittany.   Ziegler, Deborah, 1956-   Brain -- Cancer -- Patients -- United States -- Biography.   Mothers and daughters -- Biography.   Assisted suicide -- United States -- Biography.   Right to die -- United States. ISBN:  9781501128516 (hc) Edition:  1st Emily Bestler Books/Atria Books hardcover ed. Description:  xiii, 331 p. : col. ill. ; 24 cm. Notes:  "Atria/Emily Bestler Books nonfiction original hardcover." Summary:  "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. Wild and Precious Life is not a book about death, however. Instead, it is a book about a life well-lived. What emerges in this compassionate and lyrical text is an unforgettable story of how, while we can't control the hand fate delivers, we can decide how we play it. It is also a thoughtful exploration of America's ongoing struggle with end-of-life issues and most importantly, a touching tribute to the enduring power of a mother and daughter's love"--From publisher.
