October 16, 2022 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE.
Award-winning author Yvonne Caputo announced today that Dying With Dad: Tough Talks for Easier Endings (Ingenium Books, 2022) has been named a Maincrest Media Book Award Winner in the Death and Dying category.
The Maincrest Media Book Award Program establishes the benchmark for excellence in
books and the publishing community as a whole. Each book entered into the Maincrest Media Book Award Program is rigorously evaluated by an esteemed panel of seasoned industry professionals who provide valuable insight into what influences book buying decisions in today’s marketplace.
When Yvonne Caputo wrote her first book, Flying with Dad, she was surprised to find that
readers had questions—not about her father’s adventures in World War II, but about how,
years later, she was brave enough to stop paramedics from reviving him to respect his Do Not
Resuscitate order. “How could you let your father die when he could have been saved? Even if it’s what he wanted, wasn’t that hard?’”
In Dying with Dad, Yvonne’s goal is to share the empowering message with those with aging
or ill loved ones: that it is possible to have open and brave conversations with our dying loved
one that make the death experience better for everyone. She shares the joy she felt when her
father died—not because he died, but because at the end of his life he was treated exactly the way he’d wanted.
It was possible because she dared to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him about his wishes for end-of-life experiences before it was too late.
Yvonne Caputo’s Dying With Dad: Tough Talks for Easier Endings has set the standard for
excellence and innovation in writing. This award is a testament to the talent, creativity, and
vision of its author.
“I’m thrilled to receive a Maincrest Media Book Award because it reinforces the importance of
the message of my book and helps me continue to honor my father. It’s the gift that keeps on giving.”
