Description

A husband and wife are gravely ill. Rather than living in pain, they choose to end their lives, and they turn to their son for help.

Despite the legal risks and emotional turmoil it is sure to cause him, he agrees� and ultimately performs an act of love more difficult than any other.

The Last Goodnights provides a unique and unflinching look deep inside the reality of one of the most galvanizing issues of our time: assisted suicide.

Told with bare honesty, John West's account of the deaths of two brave people is both gritty and loving, frightening and illuminating.

It also offers a powerful testament to the act of death by choice, and reveals all the reasons why end-of-life issues are far too personal for government intrusion.

Intimately told, The Last Goodnights points out the unnecessary pain and suffering that is often forced upon dying people and their families, and honors the choice to live or die with purpose and dignity.

In the end, this story is not just about death� it is also about love, courage, and autonomy.
