In this age of high technology in all fields the average person is aware of both the ravages of cancer and of the remarkable cures which give heart to the public at large as well as to the medical profession. Sharon Wanslee's book is not really about cancer but about the wonderfully full life which is possible to be lived by the long term cancer patient. Ms. Wanslee's book is lively and easily read. She is honest and unafraid to share her journey ... not only the pain and fear, but also the hope and joy of her remarkable life. There are dark moments, but so many, many times of delight and joy. I believe this book will be an inspiration for all its readers.

Although this book is primarily about cancer and cancer recovery, Ms. Wanslee's memoirs transcend illness -- this book is a triumph of the human spirit. I would compare it to William Styron's "Darkness Visible," his memoirs of depression so deep it nearly killed him. In this book, Ms. Wanslee's love and spirit glow on each page -- her voice is strong and deep and her compassion for others who are ill is simply overwhelming. It is a must for anyone with cancer or with any other serious disease. And it is a must for their families and, friends -- and anyone who cares and loves others in this world. I think this is an instant classic -- a memoir so pure and clear it deserves a special place in the heart -- It echoes with laughter, sadness, tragedy, deep spirituality, joy and every human emotion in between.
