When Blanche Stone was diagnosed with bone cancer, her daughter Susan interrupted an unusual life -- in a Buddhist monastery -- to become a full-time caregiver. Readers of any faith, or none, will rejoice in the practical wisdom, the humor, and the moments of transcendence as a dying mother and her daughter share a house, figure out finances, celebrate holidays, deal with increasing physical pain and discomfort, accept support of the local hospice, and reach a deeper appreciation of each other as individuals. Weaving spiritual truths into the fabric of daily life, At the Eleventh Hour shows how the only way to address one's own needs along with the needs of a person facing death is by living one moment at a time.
