What People are Saying:

“Though marketed for boomers with aging parents, anyone with older loved ones will find a lot to appreciate in this book. It helped me appreciate just how tough a topic this is.”

—Theseus, Internet Bookseller

“Jo Myers' Good To Go is an amazing little book. Now, I'm a serious type of guy who goes for long discourse. These traits tend to steer me away from books that deal with serious matters from a baseline of brevity (distinct from including brevity from time to time). Good To Go is a delightful surprise, proving it's possible to convey helpful insights about matters of utmost importance briefly and with some irreverence.

Good To Go focuses primarily on the potential for life-long fallout — family estrangement — after the death of a group of siblings' second parent. GTG also ranges over an array of situations germane to the stresses that life-ending events can have on human relationships. Jo spoons out food for thought in doses that are very easy to mentally swallow. I've added this work to my personal end-of-life library. So not only am I good to go, I'm the better for it.”

—Bart Windrum, author of Notes >From the Waiting Room, among other books
