Description: With this book, based on her experiences as a hospice volunteer, novelist A. G. Mojtabai explores the last days of a wide-ranging cast of characters in a single inpatient ward. These beautiful, sometimes harrowing, stories are about families as well as patients, about all ages and stages of life coming together, about living while dying. In Soon, Mojtabai brings hospice to light in its original meaning, as a place of shelter for wayfarers - well or infirm - all on a perilous journey.
