New Book Sheds Light on Right-to-Die Debate / "The Last Best Thing"
Kate Sebeny’s novella addresses the legal and moral complications faced by those denied the option of meeting death on their own terms. An elderly woman kills a terminally ill man. In the eyes of the law, is this act murder, assisted suicide or something in between?

Variously described by readers as “powerful,” “simply brilliant” and “the great American novella,” Sebeny’s book is timely in its subject matter—assisted suicide and medicinal marijuana—and timeless in its theme: How far do friends go to help each other and what does loyalty really mean when push comes to shove?
Set in rural Iowa, America’s heartland, this compelling story will take you for an irresistible literary ride. If you get any sleep the night you pick it up, you’ll be the first one. “I’m really envious of my readership,” said Sebeny. “I wish I could read this book for the first time. But, having written it (and rewritten it and rewritten it and rewritten it), that’s impossible.”
