Between the day when he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and his death thirteen months later, Mark wrote A Season of Death for his daughter, Melila, who was twenty months old when he died. He entrusted the task of preparing it for publication to Michelle Lesh, his wife and Melila’s mother, and to her stepfather, Raimond Gaita. 

Michelle and Rai will discuss their special relationship to A Season of Death, the sorrow and the joy in it and Mark’s astonishing achievement in writing it, with Sarah Krasnostein.
