Yvette B. reads from her book: A Reluctant Life (SB in EG)

Defining what it means by "in sickness and in health,"
the author takes her readers on an introspective journey that begins in
serenity and then hits an unexpected fork in the road where the sign
reads Cancer and the arrow points down. The book is dedicated to the
husband she lost, but it might have been written for all
loving wives who must follow the same path-- from the hospital
corridors, through the mapless mazes of grief, and then finally into a
new and resilient recovery. Anyone who's going through a similar
experience will not merely read, but will recognize, this book. "Moving.
Eloquent...Words that resonate powerfully on the page..." -Kaity Tong,
Broadcast Journalist, WPIX-TV, New York. "..A wonderful memoir that
poses the essential questions we all ask when we lose the people we
love." -Dee Ito, author of Without Estrogen
