Synopsis
Jenifer Estess is a beautiful, successful, thirtysomething New Yorker with dreams of starting her own family when she is diagnosed with ALS, a fatal disease. Doctors tell her to max out her credit cards and prepare to die. That is precisely when Jenifer starts to live - dreaming deeper, working harder, and loving endlessly. A girlhood pact with her sisters Valerie and Meredith - nothing will ever break us apart - inspires Jenifer as she faces down her most vicious enemy. Beautifully written and wholly inspiring, Jenifer's memoir forces us to reconsider society's notion of "having it all", and illustrates, more than anything, the power of memory, work, and, most of all, love.

Review
"Touching and inspiring....It's like having lunch with a delightful and hilarious friend who you wish could stay on into the evening for just one more story, one more tale."
-- Sarah Jessica Parker
"This gem of a book is an astonishing gift. Filled with Jenifer's singular grace and exquisite wit, Tales from the Bed had me laughing and crying, and often at the same time."
-- Peter Hedges, author of What's Eating Gilbert Grape
"Even as [ALS] steals much of Jenifer away, she reaches inside and shares the best part with us."
-- Michael J. Fox
"From the vantage point of her queen-size bed, Estess displays unflagging courage and wry humor."
-- Los Angeles Daily News
