Comments:
Betty Rollin was a well known TV journalist before she changed focus to writing. “First You Cry,” an account of her 1975 cancer diagnosis, was a best-seller, followed by “Last Wish,” a book about the issue of assisted suicide for the terminally ill. In confronting the task of creating a cover for the latter book, Fred chose to focus on the universal symbol of comfort for illness and death, with his simple and eloquent painting.
