Susan tells the story of two sisters, their uniquely intimate relationship, their enthusiasm and delights in living and their mutual coming to terms with a fatal diagnosis. It is a tale of a talented and supercharged older sister who fearlessly tackles the challenges that life has to offer. Shelley recreates her journey of her sister's illness and the health care system through her inner life--memory, a deep love, and finally acceptance. The book beckons the reader from the streets of Manhattan, the freeways of Los Angeles, the hills of Provence, the fall foliage of Upstate, New York and the sparkling island of North Haven, Maine. It also takes us down the bleak corridors of hospitals and into nameless waiting rooms. Shelley's memoir speaks to the devotion and evolution of the admiring younger sister in a time of fatal crisis.
