The wry and humorous voice of The Wedding People meets the ethical explorations of the television series, Six Feet Under. According to Charlie Braun's mother, he's been trying to make his exit from the world since the day he was born--with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck. Now that she's passed on to the next life, he feels completely free, for the first time. He checks himself into Life Support Systems, LLC, for an unspecified chronic malady and prepares for his own final exit. Yet others don't want to let him go, or do they? And although Charlie never wavers in his desire to punch his ticket for the afterworld, he wonders about his ability to make good on this long-standing promise to himself. With acerbic wit and an intuitive, infectious, and disarmingly humorous voice, Charles D. Braun has written a stunning testament to a life less lived that will have every reader contemplating the biggest questions we have as humans and the author's insistence on living (and dying) under his own terms.
