How We Said Goodnight

"How We Said Goodnight" is both a memoir and love story. Told with passion, humor and unapologetic honesty, it chronicles the battle the author and her husband, Arlan, faced when he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a rare bone cancer. The book is as instructive as it is inspirational, holding back none of the difficulties and anguish of the cancer journey, but also sharing unexpected moments of laughter, joy and grace. In the account of Arlan's courageous struggle, what ultimately emerges is a portrait of a remarkable man whose profound love for his family extends far beyond the last year of his life, reminds us what it means to be human, and affirms the best in all of us.
