Description
I'm
Lily, a New York newspaper columnist, mother of two, divorcee of one and
partner in crime to Michael, English professor, novelist and best friend
extraordinaire. We've been friends forever -- well, since I nearly burned down
our apartment building while trying to cook. Michael and I have weathered
disco, bad fashion, bad perms, bad boyfriends -- for both of us -- my failed
marriage, parenthood and writer's block. Laughter has helped -- and so have the
martinis.
But
now we face our biggest challenge: the C word. And if I have my way, Michael
will be giving up his freewheeling bachelor ways and settling down once and for
all. Because I have some very specific wishes for who should take over parental
duty when I'm gone. Of course, I refuse to take this lying down -- even when
the doctors tell me to lie down and shut up. Because although I'm sick, I'm
determined to wear my high heels and lipstick. I'm gonna look good or die
trying, dammit.
My
Thoughts
Talk about a good book, wow ‘Do They Wear High Heels
in Heaven’ was such an amazing story. After the past few years I have had,
watching my mother who is also my best friend go through cancer treatment and
going through the fear of losing her and everything else that goes with stage
four ovarian cancer that had spread to her cervix, stomach, uterus, and
bladder, I can definitely say this book touched me on a personal level.
There were plenty of tears shed while reading this
book. She writes such an amazing, inspirational character in Lily, she never
ever gave up. She lived her life to the fullest and that is really
inspirational. I really enjoyed reading this book and think that everyone no
matter what their personal situation is should take the time to read this book
there are a lot of life lessons in it. It was beautifully written, emotionally
touching, motivational book. I would definitely highly recommend it to anyone.
