Description
“[A] unique tragicomedy of a memoir . . .”—Entertainment Weekly (“A”, Editor’s Choice)
“Compelling reading . . . Becker has turned one person’s experience into a universal story of family, healing, and the return to creativity.”—Library Journal (starred review)
“A wonderful book, funny and touching, harrowing and sweet.”—Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird
“Becker’s hilarious, hell-raising, and frequently heart-wrenching account . . . is joyous testament to the fact that she made it out not only alive but with all her essential, irrepressible Becker-ness still intact . . . Becker’s mirthful memoir should be required reading for anyone who has ever been seriously ill; might one day become seriously ill; knows someone who was, is, or might be seriously ill; or all of the above.” –Booklist
