Loved this book

I loved reading this book. I read it nearly straight through, as it is very accessible, like talking to the author. The main reason I think we should all read it is that it gives an up-close and candid look at the trauma of breast cancer in one woman's life, allowing us the language to face directly-- verbally -- what faces women with breast cancer.
The strength of the book is in its look at one honest woman's experience lived within a very close family and the strengths and weaknesses of individuals and the system as a whole in dealing with the onset of radically unexpected breast cancer. She does a fantastic job of getting at the implications for one's sense of security, one's inability to protect the people we love. I like the way she takes on the mundane banalities of worrying over looks and diet, how ordinary everyday shallow, thoughtless talk shared between friends becomes really hard to tolerate in the face of the hugeness of this assault on one's body and spirit,etc. And the lonely breakdowns, where really no one can enter.

This is a passionate book. I loved its intimacy, its directness, its vignettes where terror enters, and where love takes over.

Thank You Kelly!!!!!!!

My husband and I both were diagnosed with cancer this past holiday season in 2007. We, like Kelly and Greenie share a wonderful bond of love and understanding that only two know. There are several years between my husband and I, so I could relate to that bond between Kelly and her Father. Like the Corrigans were also survivors of that dreaded "C" word that plagues so many today. Her book touched me in ways that I cannot describe. I cried, I laughed and I wished that I was part of her family at times. I hope she finds the time to entertain us with more heartfelt stories. Please, Kelly keep writing your families stories. I love them. Thank for the therapy you gave us it was the best money I ever spent.

a pleasant surprise

i bought this book without knowing much about it. i had only read other amazon reviews and they were all positive. cancer is not something i love to read about--my mom had it recently, my best friend had it 7 years ago, and i had it also--but i figured i would give it a try. to my surprise, this book was so much more than a book about cancer. it was a great memoir with colorful, real characters who truly came to life in the author's stories about growing up a Corrigan. i read through this book in a few hours because i couldn't put it down. it's a great summer read.
