When Breath Becomes Air

No one wants to think of our own death or mortality. This book tells the heart wrenching story of a family and physician who had to face death. Told in the words of the physician who is all the patient gives a unique perspective to death and dying. The shortfall of the book is its short length caused by the ultimate death of the author before he was able to complete it. It is worth a read and hopefully it will provoke thought and conversation.
