“An important read that belongs on the nightstands of cancer fighters and caregivers everywhere. Professor Hardeman goes beyond common tropes and trite platitudes to offer an intimate, unsanitized look at the suffering, uncertainty, and resilience that he and his wife Shelley experienced as her cancer invaded their lives. This honest portrayal, punctuated with plenty of wry wit, contains valuable insights and practical suggestions that are helping me to cope with the same dreaded disease. My only complaint with this book is that it didn’t exist when I was diagnosed.”
