"Nancy Beckerman shares a spiritual journey of fear and hope, a story of strength and beauty of the human spirit, in “Out of Time.”    Nancy became, as she writes, “an example of how to deal with cancer,” one we can look to in understanding the fear, optimism, honesty and love that comes with a family’s fight against cancer.   Having walked this path with the Beckermans, it is a story I will not forget; nor will those who experience it through these pages," said Jonathan Lewis, M.D., Ph. D., ZIOPHARM Oncology, Formerly Professor of Medicine & Surgery at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

"MUST READING for medical students and everyone else in the medical field and its support services, including those who work in the medical insurance industry, caregivers, and everyone who comes in contact with patients," said Susan Milligan, Caregiver.
