From the Inside Flap
The Unlikely Gift of Breast Cancer is a memoir-style book about waking up in mid-life and learning to lead with your heart instead of your head. Diane M. Simard, a journalist, angel investor, and aerospace executive who was raised in a small Nebraska town, weaves an engaging account of her experience with Stage III breast cancer that is raw, unapologetic, inspirational, and unexpectedly humorous. Her sobering - yet uplifting - account describes in explicit detail the fatigue and nausea of her treatment protocol, couched by the oscillating swirl of emotions that forced her to slow down and take stock of the first 50 years of her life.
