Dow confronts the reality of his work on death row when his father-in-law is diagnosed with lethal melanoma, his beloved Doberman becomes fatally ill, and his young son begins to comprehend the implications of mortality.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e  \"Every life is different, but every death is the same. We live with others. We die alone.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In his riveting, artfully written memoir \u003ci\u003eThe Autobiography of an Execution\u003c\/i\u003e, David Dow enraptured readers with a searing and frank exploration of his work defending inmates on death row. But when Dow's father-in-law receives his own death sentence in the form of terminal cancer, and his gentle dog Winona suffers acute liver failure, the author is forced to reconcile with death in a far more personal way, both as a son and as a father.\u003cbr\u003e Told through the disparate lenses of the legal battles he's spent a career fighting, and the intimate confrontations with death each family faces at home, \u003ci\u003eThings I've Learned From Dying\u003c\/i\u003eoffers a poignant and lyrical account of how illness and loss can ravage a family. Full of grace and intelligence, Dow offers readers hope without cliche and reaffirms our basic human needs for acceptance and love by giving voice to the anguish we all face--as parents, as children, as partners, as friends--when our loved ones die tragically, and far too soon.","brand":"Twelve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44894786879717,"sku":"NP9781455575244","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/O_c091ebd2-a590-4980-8c1f-73ab7597e4af.jpg?v=1773107086","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/things-ive-learned-from-dying-isbn-9781455575244","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
