Herzlich Willkommen!
In A Good Enough Life, twelve terminally ill people speak about life in the face of impending death. Susan Gabori interviewed men and women, ranging in age from thirty-three to seventy-eight, who were suffering from cancer, ALS, or AIDS. They willingly confided in Gabori, knowing that talking would cleanse them and clarify their thoughts. All answered questions they had never been asked before, and many revealed things they had never told anyone else for fear of not being understood. Each self-portrait in A Good Enough Life is filled with honesty and the joy of discovery in the midst of struggles and hardship. Together, they offer a priceless gift that will be different for everyone: the opportunity to learn what we need to learn and find clues to help us on our own journey.
