If you have not read "Life's That Way" by Jim Beaver, I urge you to nab a copy and read this! It is a great book in general, but if you have ever known anyone who has battled cancer, this book is especially for you. This author hits it out of the park in trying to express the feelings, fears, concerns, events, the waiting and waiting, and more. I have been so touched by this book because both my husband and I are battling cancer at the same time (for the 2nd time each!). I have cried throughout the book, but they have been restorative tears and I have a deep appreciation of his ability to put this terrible battle into such simple yet oddly lyrical wording.
