Short but poignant novel of the friendship between two women who find themselves at crossroads in their lives. I originally read this in 2006 but had absolutely no memory of it.

I did get a little impatient at Kathleen's response to her illness, though I recognize everyone is different. I had the same thing, missed a total of two days of work after the surgery and sailed through the radiation without a second thought. The book may be a disservice to women by increasing their fear of breast cancer treatment. Probably not a good choice for someone in the midst of treatment.
