Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Mary Curtis Ratcliff (Jacket Photography), and Rob (illustrator). [12], 256, [4] pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads "To Bimie, With love & best Acknowledgments, Zoe Carter." Zoe Carter has taken what could be a very sad story and turned it into something beautiful and incredibly insightful. Her portrayal of her mother is wonderful, and reveals in moving and illuminating detail a slice of Washington life. Zoe Carter's busy life on the West Coast with her husband and daughters takes an unexpected detour when her glamorous, independent-minded mother, Margaret, decides she wants to "end things. Tired of living with Parkinson's disease, Margaret declares she is no longer willing to go where the illness is taking her. Unsure how--or when--she will end her life, she is certain of one thing: she wants her three daughters there when she does it. Stunned by the prospect of losing her mother and concerned about the legal ramifications of participating in her suicide, Zoe does what she can to convince her mother to abandon her plans. But for nearly a year, Margaret would talk of nothing else. Calling Zoe at random times of the day, she blithely asks which would be better: Overdosing on morphine or Seconal? Getting help from the Hemlock Society or doing it on her own? And when would be a good time--February or May? Or how about June? Wrenching, provocative, and surprisingly funny: After twenty years of living with terminal illness, Zoe's mother decided to end her life, and asked her three daughters for their assistance. For months, the decision drags on as her mother changes her methods and schedule, and the negotiations stir up old memories, sibling rivalries, and questions about family loyalty. Eventually there is compromise and courage and Zoe's mother has her happy, if imperfect, ending. A controversial subject, assisted suicide: Zoe and her sisters struggle to accept the imminent death of their mother, circling around the same questions: Who will help her? Will they go to jail? Can they bear to let her die alone? With a doctor prescribing lethal doses of sleep medication, a visit from a member of the Hemlock Society's Final Exit Network, and the temptations of overdosing on morphine, the issues and people in Imperfect Endings are at the center of the debate on assisted suicide. Zoe FitzGerald Carter is a graduate of Columbia Journalism School and has written for numerous publications including New York magazine, The New York Observer, Premiere, and various national magazines. Imperfect Endings is her first memoir. It won first place in the 2008 Pacific Northwest Writer's Association's literary contest and was a finalist at The San Francisco Writer's Conference. Zoe is a member of the San Francisco Writers' Grotto, where she teaches memoir. She has also taught (and ran) writing workshops from Hawaii to Vermont, and currently teaches memoir and songwriting at Left Margin Lit in Berkeley, CA. Recently, she's been focusing on her career as a musician. Her first CD, "Waiting for the Earthquake" came out in 2017 and can be found on all the streaming platforms. Her new album, Waterlines, was released on February 12, 2021. First Simon & Schuster hardcover edition [stated]. First printing [stated].
