He has written several books in which he tells poignant stories of patients and families he has encountered; there is no question that this is his finest work to date. Among Zaner's numerous memorable characters are Tom, a dialysis patient who finally reveals that his inability to work--encouraged by his overprotective mother--is the source of his hostility to treatment; Jim and Sue, young parents who must face the nightmare of turning off the ventilator for their dying baby; Mrs. Oland, whose family refuses to recognize her calm acceptance of her own death; and, in the final chapter, the author's mother, whose slow demise continues to haunt Zaner's professional and personal life.
