How'd it go?: A birds-eye view of mortality

by Michael B. Weinstock

How’d It Go? addresses the importance of maintaining a perspective on life…while we are still a part of it. Framed by the colorful experiences of Paul Young, a 104-year-old physician recently diagnosed with a terminal illness, are snapshots of multiple other lives, recounted with actual New York Times obituaries. As Dr. Young’s adventures unfold, so do the seminal events of our country, providing a backdrop to his memories; both joyful and tragic. The book starts at the time of his diagnosis and leads the reader through his last days of life, ending with the revelation of a closely guarded secret, one he has kept from everyone, including his twin daughters, for over sixty years. The closing chapter is his own obituary.
