“Reviewed By Jamie Michele for Readers’ Favorite
In his memoir Six Weeks, William Ledbetter follows the final illness of his sister, Nancy, after doctors find that cancer has reached the area around her brain and spine. Nancy asks to leave the hospital and spend her remaining time in her adult daughter’s New Jersey home. As hospice care begins, Ledbetter links that request to the family history that shaped him, including a controlling grandfather, a mother left to rebuild a household, and a sister who kept faith through illness. The memoir follows the decisions he makes as Nancy loses the ability to speak for herself. Six Weeks is about what a family owes to the living memory of a person whose life has reached its final season.
Six Weeks is a really moving memoir, and William Ledbetter does an excellent job of describing the loss he has experienced in life, alongside his family history and the time remaining with Nancy. As a reader who went through a similar loss with metastasized breast cancer, it is interesting to see how we did things similarly. I love that Nancy’s daughter Chelsea brings Christmas early, placing lights where her mother can see them. The author writes with an intelligent and sometimes witty style, and his own actions, like protecting his sister’s feelings after tearing open his scalp, show a love that does transcend the page. The memoir includes a Christian identity through scripture and Nancy’s lived faith, especially when the author finds years of donations in her tax records, showing that church giving remained part of her practice even when money was tight. Readers who want something that digs deeper and has real heart will find both here. Very highly recommended.”
