Too Soon to Say Goodbye
Art Buchwald
Hardcover, $17.95
Buchwald, a Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist and author, died January 17, but his wit lives on in his final book, which chronicles the last year of his life. Choosing to forego dialysis, he was expected to live only a few weeks after moving to a hospice last February. Instead, he cheated death for nearly a year, and often said, “I didn’t know dying was this much fun.” Buchwald truly lived life to the fullest, with frankness, dignity and humor.

No Footprints in the Sand: A Memoir of Kalaupapa
Henry Nalaielua with Sally-Jo Bowman
Paperback, $16.95
In 1936, 10-year-old Henry was taken from his family on the island of Hawaii and sent to Kalihi Hospital on Oahu. He was later transferred to Kalaupapa, a remote Hansen’s disease colony on the rugged north coast of Molokai where he has spent most of the past 65 years. During its century as a virtual prison, more than 8,000 people were exiled to Kalaupapa until the introduction of sulfone drugs in the 1940s. Today, fewer than 30 patients remain. This is one of only a few memoirs ever shared with the public by a Kalaupapa patient.

Next
