Please Stay is the story of Holly, a healthy 39-year old college professor struck down by a sudden, near fatal brain aneurysm.
Readers learn about her through letters sent by close friends and former students, who sent memories to be read at her bedside while she was on a respirator, fighting for her life, about the impact she had on their lives. They plead with her not to die through their words and share what she means to them. The story is told through actual correspondence which updated friends, colleagues and loved ones through long emails at the end of each of 24 ICU days; text messages sent back and forth to Holly’s sister as things unfolded; and photos documenting events as Holly fought to live.
Replete with tender anecdotes, the book calls readers to question their own legacies and to celebrate their lives and the love of the people in them. See price on Kindle.
