New Book Eighteen Months To Live Featured In The Rutland Herald

On January 21, 2013, the Rutland Herald featured a story about the new book Eighteen Months To Live – the real life story of Midge Rylander in her own words.

Rutland, Vermont (I-Newswire) January 23, 2013 - The newly published book Eighteen Months To Live was featured in the Rutland Herald in an article entitled Daughter Recalls Mother's Struggle In New Book by Lucia Suarez, Staff Writer.

Here is an excerpt from the article:

"Baker said she found her mother's handwritten journal in a memorabilia box in her garage last year. She had not opened the box in years, but felt compelled to look through it.

She found a bright orange binder and in it were all the journal entries her mother kept.

"I started to read it and I just realized this should not be sitting in a box," Baker said. "I spent months transcribing it."

She added, "It made it fresh, new, and raw and painful... There were times I felt I could not breathe. It was a very emotional experience to go through.""

After reading Eighteen Months To Live, one reader wrote on Goodreads: "For such a sad book, it is a happy book too. Although you know that Midge is terminally ill, and this made reading it weigh heavily on my chest at times, she is so full of life, hope and love, fighting the cancer that is trying to defeat her from the inside. It is an account of slowing down, of taking life each day at a time and appreciating the truly wondrous things around oneself in a way that we often don't get time to. It is a lesson to us all, to take that time, to enjoy it, to live in the moment and love those around us."
