Find a Place for Me

By: Deirdre Fagan

Narrated by: Jean Ann Douglass

Find a Place for Me is a memoir about facing a marriage’s last act—a spouse’s death—as a couple united in mind and holding hands. Deirdre and Bob are married eleven years and have two young children when forty-three-year-old Bob is diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. ALS determines the journey their marriage will now take, but Bob and Deirdre are resolute in how they will traverse their remaining months as a couple.

Chronicling Bob’s illness, Find a Place for Me is also the love story of a happy marriage filled with humor, honesty, and essential conversations. In this moving, tragic, and surprisingly funny book, Deirdre and Bob raise a glass to the life each of them has left while learning how to lovingly say goodbye.

Do yourself a favor!!

This is one of the best memoirs I've listened to this year! Deirdre Fagan is a marvelous story crafter and the narration is right on point for her words. It's the honestly raw telling of her journey through her husband's ALS diagnosis and her struggles with her past, present, and future lives. This is a love story, a story of overwhelming loss, and the hope of a happy life after such loss. She's a survivor because she has chosen her life partners wisely after
the not unusual poor choices we make as younger women. I dearly love this book because I so identify with the feelings and needs of this genuinely open woman.

I found this book very disturbing

A heartfelt story about one family's navigation through the tragedy of ALS. The story is good as long as you feel you can tolerate the Authors constant preoccupation with a man that she was not married to, which took place during her husband's illness.
As a woman myself who lost a husband to a 10 year terminal illness. I found the narrative of her relationship via Facebook messenger etc., with this man prior to her husband's death and during his dieing process beyond disturbing. She states her husband was aware and approved...I still found it absolutely
inconceivable and disturbing.
The Narration is top notch..Jean Ann Douglass is the best !
