She authored the book "Care Packages: Letters to Christopher Reeve from Strangers and Other Friends". In 2004, she was performing in the Broadway-bound play "Brooklyn Boy" at South Coast Repertory in Costa Mesa, California when she had to rush home to reach her husband's bedside after he went into cardiac arrest and a coma. In April 2005, it was also announced that she signed a seven-figure book deal with Penguin Books to write about her relationship with her famous husband. It is not known how far Reeve got with writing the book before she died; the book was never published.
