Recensione:

"Patti Davis has presented the world with a very, very great gift—a lasting tribute to her father, a model of courage and acceptance, a powerful description of the slow, merciless thievery of Alzheimer's disease, and a testament to the incredible resiliency of the human spirit. The pages of The Long Goodbye are electric with love, pain, loss, forgiveness, and a strange, shining beauty.  I adored this book.  It hurt my heart.  It lifted my heart."
—Tim O'Brien, author of The Things They Carried
