Many accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise money for ALS, but the real challenge of Lou Gehrig’s Disease begins the moment you or someone you love is diagnosed with this terminal illness. Michael Hemery’s memoir follows his father’s last day alive, interwoven with stories of his childhood and his father’s two-year decline. So We Go not only delves into the world of ALS, euthanasia and the medical community’s abandonment, but also offers a narrative of hope—and even laughter—as the Hemerys rally around their beloved husband, father, and grandfather. So We Go: The Day My Father Died is a story of relentless optimism in the face of certain death.
