Jim wore a rakish hat over a good head of hair; he asked real questions and gave real answers; he loved to see Joyce shine, both in and out of the spotlight; and he didn't mind the mess she made in the kitchen. Before they met, both had believed they were done with marriage, and even after they married, Joyce resolved that no one could alter her course of determined independence. Then, just after their one-year wedding anniversary, her new husband was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. During the nineteen months that followed, as they battled his illness together, she discovered for the first time what it really meant to be a couple--'to be a true partner and to have one.' This is their story. Charting the course through their whirlwind romance, a marriage cut short by tragedy, and Joyce's return to living alone on new terms, The Best of Us is a heart-wrenching, ultimately life-affirming reflection on coming to understand true love through the experience of great loss."--Jacket. 600 10 $a Maynard, Joyce, $d 1953- 650 0 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 1 $a Authors, American $y 20th century $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Maynard, Joyce, $d 1953- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00002002 650 7 $a Authors, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00821764 650 7 $a Loss (Psychology) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01002621 650 7 $a Married people. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01010656 650 7 $a Middle-aged persons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01020385 650 7 $a Pancreas $x Patients. $x Patients. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01051975 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 4 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 776 08 $i Ebook version : $z 9781635570366 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l WAPD715 $d 20210617150145.0 $n 4 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=26657E38AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
