This book clearly articulates the "Voice of the Patient". Many books are written by doctors and researchers trying to describe what it's like to be the person living with cancer, but this book actually does it. This book is 93 stories from 74 authors who all share the same incurable cancer, either as the patient or as the caregiver. And no two stories are alike. Each lays open the emotions, triumphs, and tragedies of the individual author's journey. This is not a medical book. This is a book exposing the disorienting changes authors find themselves in "after the diagnosis." The list of new "normal" experiences includes estrangement from some family members who cannot deal with a loved one's mortality, attack from social bullies (sometimes bosses), self-doubt, the stages of pre-grief, coping with the loss of bodily control, new understandings of mortality and spirituality, and a host of other psychological and emotional challenges, coupled with unexpected support from unanticipated sources, new eyes to recognize "friends," new understandings of what is important in life, all overlaid onto the trauma of having a new permanent visitor taking up residence in your body.
Every story helps the reader understand about living with cancer. The stories are raw, insightful, and uplifting. Each story is a gem. There are postings from those who have recently passed away, and writings from children and parents. These stories are brimming with honesty, healing, and an understanding of our collective mortality. Comments from the cancer authors: "I feel like I live on a log in the middle of a river, waiting for it to be pulled over the waterfall." "With all the twists and turns during my MTC years, I feel as though I am always playing 'Whack-A-Mole'." "I am so happy I wrote my story. It is so relieving to pull it up and out of myself." "I don't like to complain usually, so it was a bit difficult to admit how hard writing my story was for me...since the big diagnosis." "In the end, I can nudge the cancer and tell it to move over." "The enemy, if you want to name one, is not cancer. It's fear." "Respectfully, I say 'thank you' to my cancer for showing me what an awesome life I have and what amazing family and friends I have been blessed with." "And don't forget, Cancer, you are my bitch."
The stories come from around the world from Romania and Pakistan to the US and Canada, and through every demographic, from infant to octogenarians. Each person or caretaker has experienced the change, has grown from the change, and is a new person because of their journey with this cancer. Expert medical persons in this field have hailed this book, and its predecessor, as truly "The Voice Of The Patient." They have each said that even though they have dealt with this cancer for 20-30 years in their professional lives, only when they read this book have they started to understand what those living with it, and their caregivers, go through.
"Cancer changes people. It sculpts us into someone who Understands more deeply, Hurts more often, Appreciates more quickly, Cries more easily, Hopes more desperately, Loves more openly, and Lives more passionately."

Molly McClain tells the remarkable story of Ellen Browning Scripps (1836–1932), an American newspaperwoman, feminist, suffragist, abolitionist, and social reformer. She used her fortune to support women’s education, the labor movement, and public access to science, the arts, and education.
Born in London, Scripps grew up in rural poverty on the Illinois prairie. She went from rags to riches, living out that cherished American story in which people pull themselves up by their bootstraps with audacity, hard work, and luck. She and her brother, E. W. Scripps, built America’s largest chain of newspapers, linking midwestern industrial cities with booming towns in the West. Less well known today than the papers started by Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, Scripps newspapers transformed their owners into millionaires almost overnight.
By the 1920s Scripps was worth an estimated $30 million, most of which she gave away. She established the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, and appeared on the cover of Time magazine after founding Scripps College in Claremont, California. She also provided major financial support to organizations worldwide that promised to advance democratic principles and public education.
In Ellen Browning Scripps, McClain brings to life an extraordinary woman who played a vital role in the history of women, California, and the American West.

Описание: "I can't wait to get to work " When was the last time you felt that way? Have you ever? Mark McClain has and still does. He and his leadership teams have focused on creating companies that make the quality of their employees' work experiences of equal importance to the quality of the solutions those employees create. With Joy and Success at Work, McClain has produced a manual that shares how he and his teams have done it--and how you and your team can, too. Speaking directly to the lack of fulfillment that too often accompanies work--with generous portions of humor and irreverence--Mark McClain deconstructs the modern business environment, then puts it back together. Shot through with pithy tales from his own experiences, Joy and Success at Work is Mark's honest take on what team building can be, and done right, what it produces: Great places to work that support people's broader lives, rather than sucking the life out of them.

Описание: Escape to the Chesapeake Bay, where beach life is full of love, surprises and second chances... When an injury forces K-9 officer Trey Harrison onto the sidelines, his only thought is getting back to the police force where he belongs. And he'll do anything to make that happen--even volunteer in a small waterfront community, just to please his boss. But no one ever said Trey had to enjoy it... Since the surgery that destroyed her dreams of having children, schoolteacher Erica Rowe has grown even more dedicated to her work with at-risk teens. So she doesn't need some cop with a chip on his shoulder putting the program's future in jeopardy. But when Trey finally connects with the students, Erica's heart melts. And when, in a tender moment, he admits he longs to have children, her heart breaks. She's convinced he'd be better off with someone who can give him everything, but she can't seem to shake the hope that maybe love is enough...
