review: Editorial Reviews Review "You set about doing whatever has to be done: buy a cane, go to physical or occupational therapy, schedule surgery, join a support group, revise your will. Being a social creature as well, you soon long for the guidance and companionship of your fellow sufferers and, as you begin to get the hang of your situation, to serve as a guide and companion yourself. Then, if you're a writer, you start to scribble."—Nancy Mairs, author of "Carnal Acts" and "Waist-High in the World", from the Foreword About the Author G.
