As an Alaskan living in a small isolated island town, the author, Marcel LaPerriere faces some challenges that he would not face if he lived in a larger city with the medical facilities that a larger city can afford. Through a series of essays LaPerriere shares his frustration of losing his ability to talk and the sadness of his last walk down a magical path in the forest to his son's house. Sometimes written with humor and sometimes sadness, this is an uplifting book that will help anyone living with a terminal disease. LaPerriere is an inspiration, as he does his best to stay positive despite the realities of living with ALS. (ALL PROCEEDS FROM THIS BOOK GO TO OTHERS FIGHTING ALS.)
