A Novel about Love, Death, and Euthanasia
Lazy Palms is a speculative story about a pilot program for self-administered euthanasia. The fictional state-sponsored, experimental clinical trial is being conducted at a mobile home park called Lazy Palms in a small imaginary beach town in Florida.
Rosie Dwyer is a retirement-age journalist living in Boston. She decides to research the mysterious program after discovering it is being conducted in her hometown. She returns to South Florida and lives undercover at the trailer park.
Legal, moral, and personal decisions about late-stage life choices are the focus of this novel about an older woman's search for the truth. She interviews people on both sides of the issue: a religious leader, a pro-life blogger, researchers and healthcare professionals, activists and the dying, caretakers and loved ones facing unbearable loss. Her safety is threatened, she revisits her own losses, and she finds new love. But ultimately she must decide: is a national right-to-die program an essential leap forward in end-of-life care? Or a dangerous mistake?
Using science and conspiracy, pathos and hope, Lazy Palms delves into the pros and cons of legalized euthanasia--a topic of great interest to the living, but one that is strangely taboo.
