I found this an uplifting and inspiring hope filled read, not at all what you expect a book about dying.
John Horton pulls the shroud back of secrecy and fear around death. He takes us with him into the lives of his patients facing their own mortality, sharing insights, wisdom and the beauty of the human spirit.
I highly recommend this book. Its beautifully written.
