THE wife of Hollywood actor Patrick Swayze has penned a tell-all book, where she recounts their life together and battle against the Dirty Dancing star's pancreatic cancer before he died.

"He was gaunt, you could see the stress of the illness on his face, his belly pouched out from accumulated fluid, and he complained that his ankles were swollen like a little old lady’s. But every time I looked at him, I thought he was beautiful."

"If there was one thing I wanted to show Patrick, it was that death would have to pry him out of my cold, clamped-on fingers. I was not going to let him go easily. "

LISA NIEMI and PATRICK SWAYZE were married for thirty-four years. They first met as teenagers at his mother’s dance studio—he was older and just a bit cocky; she was the beautiful waif who refused to worship the ground he walked on. Through the years their marriage strained under the pressures that many do, but it was always a uniquely passionate and creative partnership.
