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.
