About the Book "DON'T FORGET THE FLIPPIN' E"

Diane Tressler, a single parent, raises her two children, Ed and Tracey, while working and studying for a nursing degree. After eighteen years of single life, Diane marries Pat Sheridan and acquires five grown stepchildren.

Diane's daughter, Tracey, graduates from the University of Maryland and moves to the place of her dreams - California. She begins a career in the entertainment industry, working at ABC, Viacom, and Paramount.

In 2005, Tracey learns that she has lung cancer. Angry and afraid, she undergoes surgery and chemotherapy. Her mother cares for her through her cancer treatments on the West Coast. In 2007, Tracey falls in love with Brandon De Libro, and they put their relationship on a fast track, marry, and have a beautiful baby, Bella, all in the last year of Tracey's life.

During her pregnancy, Tracey's health deteriorates and she reluctantly agrees to have brain irradiation. Brandon, Bella, Tracey, and Diane spend the rest of Tracey's days at their Huntington Beach house.

We hear in Tracey's own words how she feels about dying and leaving baby Bella. Some of Tracey's beautiful and unique prose is included, and her writings add to the book's special charm.
