The Time of My Life Paperback / softback
by Patrick Swayze, Lisa Niemi
Paperback / softback
Description
In September 2009 movie star Patrick Swayze lost his long and bravely fought battle against pancreatic cancer.
His was a life richly led and this memoir, completed just weeks before his death, is a testament to the strength and passion of this remarkable man.
It was January 2008 when Patrick Swayze was given the worst news of his life.
What he hoped was just a stomach ache was actually stage four pancreatic cancer.
This book isn't just the story of Patrick's fight against cancer, it's the story of a remarkable life and career.
Intended as a low budget, straight-to-video production, Dirty Dancingbecame a cult hit and remains one of the most enduring films of the 80s.
Ghost cemented Patrick as a hugely bankable star, and most recently Patrick returned to the public's adoring arms in TV's The Beast.
This book will chronicle Patrick's personal life, too -- including his treatment for alcoholism following the death of his father and sister's sudden death.
What remained a constant in Patrick's life was his marriage and Patrick and Lisa's love story is inspiring, honest, heartfelt and transcends the typical celebrity marriage.
Lisa and Patrick have shown the world that cancer isn't just a diagnosis given to one individual, but a disease that can bring a household together or pull a family apart.
Bold, honest and inspiring, Patrick Swayze's memoir is the story of a remarkable man's life and career and of his refusal to give up without a fight.
