Die Young with Me: A Memoir

Die Young with Me: A Memoir

In the tradition of John Greenâ€™s The Fault in Our Stars and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl comes the incredibly moving true story of a teenager diagnosed with cancer and how music was the one thing that helped him get through his darkest days.

Punkâ€™s not dead in rural West Virginia. In fact, it blares constantly from the basement of Rob and Nat Rufusâ€”identical twin brothers with spiked hair, black leather jackets, and the most kick-ass record collection in Appalachia. To them, school (and pretty much everything else) sucks. But what can you expect when youâ€™re the only punks in town?

When the brothers start their own band, their lives begin to change: they meet friends, they attract girls, and they finally get invited to join a national tour and get out of their rat box little town.

But their plans are cut short when Rob is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that has already progressed to Stage Four. Not only are his dreams of punk rock stardom completely shredded, there is a very real threat that this is one battle that canâ€™t be won.

While Rob suffers through nightmarish treatments and debilitating surgery, Nat continues on their bandâ€™s road to success alone. But as Robâ€™s life diverges from his brotherâ€™s, he learns to find strength within himself and through his music. Die Young With Me is a raw, honest account of a brave teenâ€™s fight with cancer and the many ways music helped him cope through his recovery.
