This sweet and tender story about life-yes, life-in a hospice is
told with gentle good humor and eye for the significant humanity in
every human being. Author Edward Bear's now-sober narrator is
ordered to do community service at the Hospice of St. Michael where
he's put in charge of the cocktail cart and becomes the late
afternoon drink dispenser for the patients there. With his great
ear for dialogue, Bear draws out the meanings of the individual
lives that his narrator now shares. This is a book that makes you
laugh, brings a tear to your eye, and makes you think all at the
same time. A wonderful read for all.
