Sallie Tisdale is a widely published writer and an experienced palliative care nurse. Her writing has appeared in Harper's Bazaar, New Yorker, Antioch Review and Tricycle. She has published several books including Talk Dirty to Me, Stepping Westward, and Women of the Way. She has received numerous awards for her writing, including the Pushcart Prize, an NEA Fellowship, and the James Phelan Literary Award.
'Tisdale does not write to allay anxieties but to acknowledge them, and she brings death so close, in such detail and with such directness, that something unusual happens, something that feels a bit taboo. She invites not just awe or dread - but our curiosity. And why not? We are, after all, just future corpses pretending we don't know. ' - New York Times 'An intimate insider's look at dying, aimed at both caregivers and mortally ill people. Tisdale's forthright narrative voice...is so generous and kind in spirit that readers will gladly follow along.' - Publishers Weekly 'Informed by the Zen Buddhism she practises and shot through with a meditative awareness of the transience of life, this is a very gentle guide on how to go into that good night .' - Sydney Morning Herald
