Being Brett: Chronicle of a Daughter's Death

"Being Brett is, in the bravest sense of the word, pitiless — a necessary book about a terrible and savage experience". — Philip RothDouglas Hobbie recounts the harrowing account of his daughter's struggle with Hodgkin's disease. From the beginning, and despite every shattering setback and disappointment in the course of her ordeal, Brett was determined to prevail.

Being Brett is a record of courage and perseverance that pushes past the myths and unreality that often insulate us from death and dying. To open this extraordinary book is to undertake an unforgettable journey that will provoke in every reader a deeper contemplation of what it means to be alive.
