Find a Place for Me by Deirdre Fagan

Find a Place for Me by Deirdre Fagan

...This memoir will burrow down deep into your heart, finding its own place of comfort there. I dare you to be able to put it down. --Noley Reid, author of Pretend We Are Lovely

Find a Place for Me is a memoir about facing a marriage's last act--a spouse's death--as a couple united in mind and holding hands. Deirdre and Bob are married eleven years and have two young children when forty-three-year-old Bob is diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease. ALS determines the journey their marriage will now take, but Bob and Deirdre are resolute in how they will traverse their remaining months as a couple. Chronicling Bob's illness, Find a Place for Me is also the love story of a happy marriage filled with humor, honesty, and essential conversations. In this moving, tragic, and surprisingly funny book, Deirdre and Bob raise a glass to love and the life each of them has left while learning how to lovingly say goodbye.
