Its subject is not only bereavement, but the experience of finding love and sharing life amid an illness that shapes what lies ahead.

Book overview

What do you do after decades of longing when you finally find your perfect match, only to discover that he has Stage Four cancer?

 

Dare to Love is far from a traditional memoir or tale of loss. It is at once a beautiful love story, a remarkable journey of exuberant living in the face of uncertain future, and a triumph of spirit.

 

With unwavering honesty and beautiful tenderness, Jane opens her heart and lays herself bare, recounting the beauty and heartbreak of late-life passion. In her 70's, she found the kind of connection people look for all their lives. She reveals intimate and poignant details of how her bond with Patrick deepened before eventually facing the inevitable reality of his illness. Supplemented with rich photographs, Jane Myers Drew's vibrant work dares to go where no other book has ever ventured, proving that it's never too late to take a chance and discover true love.
