You have one month to live. Maybe two.
You have a month to live, maybe two.
Edna Berman is a typical middle-aged woman living in Louisiana. She has two adult children, two young grand children, an elderly mother, an ex-husband and an eccentric neighbor. She also has only thirty days to live. Diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer, Edna must get her affairs in order, say good-bye to her loved ones and somehow try to exist for the next month.
Immerse yourself in Edna’s world as she comes to grip with her mortality. Learn how she faces the anger, the disappointment, and the heartbreak of finding out the news. Identify with how she tells her children and her friends of her impeding death and somehow, finds a little humor in it along the way by arguing with herself over it all. Most importantly, understand a dying woman’s point of view of what it’s like to face your own ending.
PT Bateman takes the reader through each of Edna’s final days. You will laugh and you will cry. Moreover, Edna will, most certainly, stick with you long after you’ve finished the book.

Following along with Edna was such an emotional roller-coaster for me. I felt instantly connected with her and laughed as she mocked herself, and cried when she was nearing the end. It wasn’t enough time! Following Edna through such an intense process was emotionally trying, but worth every fleeting moment of the read

I could not put this book down. I connected with each of the characters in the book, laughed at her best friend Delores for making her last days on earth enjoyable, cried as Edna’s life was ending. I’d give PT Bateman more stars then 5 with this book.

I was taken by how PT Bateman made Edna’s journey very transparent, intimate, humorous – yet real. It certainly made me appreciate life even more and not take it for granted… Well done and a peaceful ending!
