Ebook: The last kiss: a true story of love, joy and loss

Leslie Brody, a newspaper reporter and mother of two, thought her life was finally heading in the right direction when she married Elliot, a romantic, funny and brilliant editor with three children of his own. But six years after their wedding, they learned that Elliot, only 55, had pancreatic cancer--and would be lucky to live for a year or two. With a journalist's eye for intimate detail, Leslie shows how they made the very most of the time they had left together. Told with heart, humor and compelling immediacy, The Last Kiss is a love story about the life-affirming power of a passionate marriage, the importance of loyal friends, and the resilience of children growing up through one of life's harshest trials. This is the most important story she has ever told.;Cover; Contents; Prologue; Two Weddings; The Things He Carried; Italy, June 2006; Be a Gladiator, July 2006; Win This For My Boys, August 2006; What to Say; The Things I Carried; Last Kisses, October 2006; My Kind of Faith; My Guides to the Wilderness; Adventures in Weed, December 2007; Insta-Nurse, January 2007; Belonging; Waiting, April 2007; What About the Rest of Us?
