The diagnosis of cancer left Don with only a few months to live. Not wanting to leave his wife Suzanne with the insurmountable medical bills, he contemplated ending his own life with the help of a spiritual advocate. Making the decision was a tough one, but actually doing it may have been even more difficult if his new friend Richard hadn’t been there to help his transformation from what he was enduring to what would set him free to finish his life’s journey.Um, OK. As a contemporary fiction, the concept of the story is interesting jus not executed well. The spiritual aspect has a few good points and ideals, but it is wrapped up in contradictory and occasionally offensive theories. This is one book that I am just relieved to have finished, I will not be reading the next book. This was an audio book and the rating / review is based solely on the work / words written by Scott Blum, not the voice. The narrator did not do any good for the story. Many times that should have been a sad statement, the narrator sounded happy and cheerful. There was and excitement in her voice for everything from a playful day at the park to writing a suicide letter. Not a great combination. I didn't realize this was a metaphysical book when I selected it - just sounded like an interesting book at a great kindle price. Then I realized it was published by Hay House and thought - even better. I did like the story and some of its spiritual themes, but was left at the end feeling like I had read half a book. There is no resolution for any of the characters and, disappointingly, the only way to get resolution (I think) is to read the author's next book. I guess you get what you pay for.
What do You think about Summer's Path (2009)?
Excellent book, talking about the link between emotions and physical sickness. Lots of wisdom here!

I downloaded this audiobook because it was free, and essentially, you get what you pay for.
