The Bright Hour - Nina Riggs

What a beautiful book.  The author Nina Riggs writes so smoothly about the challenges that are thrown at her.  First her most loved mother dies, then her son is diagnosed with diabetes and then her own journey with Breast cancer.  Only in her thirties and with two young sons, she is able to open up and bring us close into her world.  I have a soft spot for such memoirs, and this one reinforces my affection for such books. 5/5

THe very thought of cancer unnerves me, and I have great sympathy for anyone having to battle it. It is such a remorseless condition.
