"When twenty-nine-year-old Brittany is identified as having a terminal brain tumor, she feels almost immediately about stopping her life with dignity...In this painfully honest memoir, Deborah, Brittany's mother, reports the surgeries, treatments, and soul-searching that proceeded to go into honoring Brittany's way...Brittany's tale...will have a ready audience, and Deborah's frank consideration of their challenges will be comforting to others facing this difficult decision." - Booklist (starred review) Written by Deborah Ziegler, the mother of Brittany Maynard-a twenty-nine-year-old girl with a terminal brain tumor-this coming in contact with and beautiful memoir catches and celebrates her daughter's nature and the mainly untold tale of Brittany's this past year of life as she chose her to pass away with dignity, a voyage that inspired hundreds of thousands. On October 6, 2014, a video tutorial of my princess, Brittany Maynard, was posted on YouTube. Brittany asked me to do the video tutorial with her, to aid her. The first words my princess 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 dark-colored sweater, her face already rounded and puffy from taking prescribed steroids, her once waist-length head of hair now grazing her shoulder blades following a craniotomy, Brittany detailed why she was choosing to get rid of her life by her own hands rather than waiting for her brain tumor to rob her of everything that defined who she was. In this poignant, powerful reserve, Deborah Ziegler makes good on the offer she designed to her only child: that she'd honor her princess and carry forward her legacy by sharing their tale and offering anticipation, empowerment, and inspiration to the growing tens of hundreds of thousands of people who are fighting end-of-life issues.
