Some people are born to lead and destined to teach by the
example of living life to the fullest, and facing death with
uncommon honesty and courage. Peter Barton was that kind of
person.
Driven by the ideals that sparked a generation, he became an
overachieving Everyman, a risk-taker who showed others what was
possible. Then, in the prime of his life -- hugely successful,
happily married, and the father of three children -- Peter faced
the greatest of all challenges. Diagnosed with cancer, he began a
journey that was not only frightening and appalling but also full
of wonder and discovery.
With unflinching candor and even surprising humor, Not Fade Away
finds meaning and solace in Peter's confrontation with mortality.
Celebrating life as it dares to stare down death, Peter's story
addresses universal hopes and fears, and redefines the quietly
heroic tasks of seeking clarity in the midst of pain, of breaking
through to personal faith, and of achieving peace after bold and
sincere questioning.
Before mild-mannered furniture salesman Al Tuschman left New Jersey for a week in Key West, he hadn't an enemy in the world. But a series of puzzling assaults on his privacy, his sanity, and his life has turned his stay at the tasteful Paradise Hotel into Tropical Hell. Maybe it's the humidity. Maybe the Sambuca. Or maybe it's the nickname emblazoned on his license plate: Big Al.
For Big Al Marracotta, Mafia capo, a Florida getaway means outrunning a career in crime and rancid calamari. For Katy Sansone it's a bid for sunshine and self-respect--until a case of mistaken identity pits the confused woman against a bafflement of Als and more danger than any one of them had reason to pack for. Now, if Tuschman doesn't watch his back, somebody's going to be reporting the death of another salesman. . . .
