Swayze Pens Memoir

Patrick Swayze has been fighting pancreatic cancer for over a year, but he refuses to give up and wait to die. Instead, he’s been recording his thoughts on the struggle.

E! News reports the actor’s memoir will be published this fall by Atria Books. The actor and his wife of over 30 years, Lisa Niemi, have been writing the book on their New Mexico ranch. According to the publisher, Swayze reveals “his brave fight against a diagnosis of stage-four pancreatic cancer, from which he has gleaned wisdom and has remained resolutely optimistic.”

Swayze stated, “With everything I’ve been fortunate enough to do in my life, and covering such a wide range of diverse subject matters, I’m told that my story has been inspirational to people. I will write from my heart about these experiences and, aside from the sheer pleasure of doing it, if people happen to garner inspiration from it, or incentive, or find a new way to love, it would be wonderful.”

Swayze’s life has certainly been interesting, so this should be one celebrity autobio worth reading.
