In a career spanning more than thirty years, Patrick Swayze has made a name for himself on the stage, the screen, & television. Known for his versatility, passion & fearlessness, he's become one of the world's most beloved actors. But in February 2008, Patrick announced he had been diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer. Always a fighter, he refused to let the disease bring him to his knees, & his bravery has inspired both his legion of fans & cancer patients everywhere. Yet this memoir, written with wisdom & heart, recounts much more than his bout with cancer. In vivid detail, Patrick describes his Texas upbringing, his personal struggles, his rise to fame with North & South, his commercial breakthroughs in Dirty Dancing & Ghost, & the soul mate who's stood by his side through it all: his wife, writer & director Lisa Niemi. A behind-the-scenes look at a Hollywood life & a remarkable love, this memoir is both entertainment & inspiration. Patrick & Lisa's marriage is a journey of two lives intertwined & lived as one, throughout their years in Hollywood & at home on their working ranch outside Los Angeles, & culminating in the hope & wisdom they've imparted to all who know them. This book proves that life shouldn't be lived as a series of endings, but rather as the beginning of greater strength & love. ...
