5/15/2023 0 Comments Die Young with Me by Rob Rufus![]() ![]() Die Young with Me is a raw, honest picture of the weirdness of growing up (Marky Ramone) and the story of a brave teens battle with cancer and the many ways music helped him cope through his recovery. But as Robs life diverges from his brothers, he learns to find strength within himself and through his music. While Rob suffers through nightmarish treatments and debilitating surgery, Nat continues on their bands road to success alone. Not only are his dreams of punk rock stardom completely shredded, there is a very real threat that this is one battle that cant be won. But their plans are cut short when Rob is diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that has already progressed to Stage Four. But what can you expect when youre 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. To them, school (and pretty much everything else) sucks. In fact, it blares constantly from the basement of Rob and Nat Rufus-identical twin brothers with spiked hair, black leather jackets, and the most kick-ass record collection in Appalachia. The market for music-industry memoirs is a cluttered. Book Synopsis In the tradition of John Greens The Fault in Our Stars and Me and Earl and the Dying Girl, this incredibly moving and harrowing true story of a teenager diagnosed with cancer is a resounding affirmation of how music can lift ones spirits beyond gray skies and bad news (Kirkus Reviews). DS Exclusive: Rob Rufus (Blacklist Royals) talks about his upcoming memoir, Die Young With Me. ![]()
