Please join us on Thursday June 18 when Patricia Batta will be signing her latest book "What Did You Do Before Dying?" Synopsis Gene Christensen committed suicide. Or did he? He was having an affair before he died. Or was he? He cheated his wife Marge of their life savings. Or did he? What exactly was Gene Christensen doing before he died? And how did he die? Marge knows Gene would never deliberately leave her without explicit instructions on how to go on with her life, but likely suspects for fraud and murder do not abound in her suburban Bellevue, Washington neighborhood in 1997. In her attempt to discover the truth and find the money, Marge is forced to face the imperfections in what appeared to outsiders to be a perfect marriage, to confront the possibility that Gene had a lover, and to deal with guilt over her own temptations. She discovers loneliness. And she discovers where to look for happiness.
