The Time of My Life

Simon & Schuster, 2009. None. Hardback. Good. Outline:- In September 2009 movie star Patrick Swayze lost his long and bravely fought battle against pancreatic cancer. Dedications soon came flooding in from Swayze`s many friends in film and television as well as from his legions of adoring fans. His was a life richly led and this memoir completed just weeks before his death is a testament to the strength and passion of this remarkable man. It was January 2008 when Patrick Swayze was given the worst news of his life. What he hoped was just a stomach ache was actually stage four pancreatic cancer. This book isn`t just the story of Patrick`s fight against cancer. In the public eye from the early 1980s this is the story of a remarkable life and career. Intended as a low budget straight-to-video production Dirty Dancingbecame a cult hit and remains one of the most enduring films of the 80s. Ghost cemented Patrick as a hugely bankable star in a role that has had a considerable cultural impact. Most recently Patrick returned to the public`s adoring arms in TV`s The Beast. This book will chronicle Patrick`s personal life too -- including his treatment for alcoholism following the death of his father and sister`s sudden death. What remained a constant in Patrick`s life was his marriage and Patrick and Lisa`s love story is inspiring honest heartfelt and transcends the typical celebrity marriage. This is a book that anyone who has faced cancer or a terminal illness can turn to: Lisa and Patrick have shown the world that cancer isn`t just a diagnosis given to one individual but a disease that can bring a household together or pull a family apart. Bold honest and inspiring Patrick Swayze`s memoir is the story of a remarkable man`s life and career and of his refusal to give up without a fight.-> the publisher of this HARDBACK book is Simon & Schuster The date of this copy is 2009 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
