Ruth Picardie, happily married with one-year-old twins, was only thirty-two when she was diagnosed as having breast cancer. With almost unbearable intensity she described the progress of her illness in a series of articles in the ""Observer"". When Ruth died in September 1997 she was mourned by thousands who had never even met her. ""Before I say goodbye"" brings together these articles, selected letters from readers and accounts of her last days by Ruth's sister, Justine, and her husband Matt.
