About the Book

Soon after becoming a widow, and finding new love, Delia Ephron faces a life-threatening diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). In her memoir, she enchants as she seesaws us between tears and laughter, navigating the suicidal lows of enduring cutting-edge treatment and the giddy highs of a second chance at love. With Peter and her close girlfriends by her side, with startling clarity, warmth, and honesty about facing death, Ephron invites us to join her team of warriors and become believers ourselves. ebook icon Audio book icon
