Praise for Ordinary Life:
Â
ÂIt reads like a novel, but Kathy Conwayâs journal of three cancers is the smartest kind of self-help: it gives us permission to be wise or whiney, strong or self-indulgent, whatever it takes to get through the dark nights of chemo and dread.â
ÂRobert Lipsyte, columnist, New York Times and American Health
Â
ÂOrdinary Life is a brave book . . . the kind of journey so many, many women are living throughÂwith spirit, heart and courageÂwith vision and in community.â
ÂBlanche Wiesen Cook, author of Eleanor Roosevelt
Â
Ordinary Life is a frank portrait of one womanâs experience of living through three cancers, from diagnosis through treatment and on to recovery.
Â
Unlike the usual self-help book that portrays illness as a transformative experience in which the individual ultimately prevails physically, spiritually, and socially, Ordinary Life isnât afraid to inhabit and explore the nightmare world of human emotion evoked by life-threatening disease. Kathlyn Conway shows all sides of her reaction to a deadly illness. Often she is despairing, angry, lonely, terrified, and raging against her disease and its implications. Hers is a journey to the heart of darkness into which illness can take any individual. Yet Conwayâs very act of courage and honesty in exposing her fear reveals how normal such feelings are.
