Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is a tender collection of letters, photographs, and drawings Anders Nilsen has compiled in memory of his fiancee, Cheryl Weaver, who died of cancer in November 2005. It is an appreciation of the time they shared together, and a heartbreaking account of the progression of her illness. Including early love notes, simple and poetic postcards, tales of their travels together in written and comics form, journal entries and drawings done in the hospital during her final days, and a beautifully rendered tear-jerking account of Weaver's memorial, Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is a deeply personal romance, and a universal reminder of our mortality and the significance of the relationships we build.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"Don't Go Where I Can't Follow is both a tribute by a good artist to the life and death of a woman he loved and to the redemptive power of art." --Los Angeles Times
" . . . a glimpse into a real relationship that ended far too soon. The definition of heartbreaking." --Nashville City Paper
"This story is, obviously, very personal, but ultimately I think it isn't exclusive. It feels incredibly particular to me, still, but it's just love and loss. And everyone, for better or worse, can relate to that." --Anders Nilsen

This review is from: Don't Go Where I Can't Follow (Paperback)
A wonderfully crafted book. I picked it up without knowing what it was about. I started chuckling to myself after reading the first few pages and by the end of it I was in the middle of a busy room with tears in my eyes! So amusing! So moving! I would highly recommend it! I was going to buy a copy for my boyfriend but they aren't even selling any copies.. what's up with that?

Anders Nilsen's book "Don't Go Where I Can't Follow" is Amazingly touching, I picked it up after reading a review of it in the Chicago Reader and never have I been steered so right. This book is about his relationship with his lover who becomes ill and then lost to disease. Anders shows us his true feelings and anguish, I too like the other review was moved to tears, so was my wife when I lent her the book. A must read if you can find it.
