Coles All The Books She Never Wrote: A Mother, A Son, & A Long Goodbye at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON

A few weeks after she turned 99, Lucy Bradley suffered a series of health setbacks and decided she didn't want to live to be 100. She abruptly stopped eating, expecting to pass away within a few days. But Lucy's goodbye went on for seven long weeks! During that time, her devoted son, author Doug Bradley, kept vigil by her side, never knowing which moment with his dying mother would be the last. "Read me our story," Lucy commanded Doug at the outset of her journey. An avid mystery reader, she wanted Doug to read, and complete, the mystery they had long ago started to compose together. But as Doug read aloud from Saints and Sinners , he and his mother learned much more about the mysteries of language, love, and dying with dignity. All the Books She Never Wrote is Doug Bradley's love letter to his late mother. But it is also a testament to the unbreakable bond between mothers and sons and an argument for permitting our loved ones to pass on their own terms, in their own way.
"With a veteran's wisdom, a father's heart, and a storyteller's gift, Doug Bradley reminds us that our memories don't just mark our past—they shape who we become and help us find our way forward." -- Erin Celello , author, Learning to Stay
