Never have I heard or read anything with such honesty and transparency as in Jai Pausch's book. Too often we don't share the realities of what we are dealing with in life. It creates an illusion that all the women we know really do have it all together, when in reality, none of us do, especially when dealing with the life and death issues that faced the Pausch family. All we can do is the best we can do. Jai Pausch shows us that as she shares the real and intimate thoughts and feelings of her own last months with her husband.
