- Left on Tenth : a second chance at life : a memoir / by Ephron, Delia,author.;
The bestselling, beloved writer of romantic comedies like You've Got Mail tells her own late-in-life love story in her "resplendent memoir," complete with a tragic second act and joyous resolution. Delia Ephron had struggled through several years of heartbreak. She'd lost her sister, Nora, and then her husband, Jerry, both to cancer. Several months after Jerry's death, she decided to make one small change in her life--she shut down his landline, which crashed her internet. She ended up in Verizon hell. She channeled her grief the best way she knew: by writing a New York Times op-ed. The piece caught the attention of Peter, a Bay Area psychiatrist, who emailed her to commiserate. Recently widowed himself, he reminded her that they had shared a few dates fifty-four years before, set up by Nora. Delia did not remember him, but after several weeks of exchanging emails and sixties folk songs, he flew east to see her. They were crazy, utterly, in love. But this was not a rom-com: four months later she was diagnosed with AML, a fierce leukemia. In Left on Tenth, Delia Ephron enchants as she seesaws us between tears and laughter, navigating the suicidal lows of enduring cutting-edge treatment and the giddy highs of a second chance at love. With Peter and her close girlfriends by her side, with startling clarity, warmth, and honesty about facing death, Ephron invites us to join her team of warriors and become believers ourselves.- Subjects: Biographies.; Autobiographies.; Personal narratives.; Ephron, Delia.; Authors, American; Cancer;

- Holding on to normal : how I survived cancer and made it to the other side, happier, healthier and stronger / by Somerville, Alana,author.; Somerville, Alana.Chemosabe.;
"Alana Somerville-a wife, teacher and mother of two small children-was thirty-three years old when she was diagnosed with stage two, triple negative breast cancer. The diagnosis changed her world and the relationships she had with everyone around her. Suddenly she was faced with endless medical appointments, multiple surgeries and procedures, along with chemotherapy, and all the decisions involved. She also had to deal with the trauma of realizing that her support network-sometimes even the closest of friends-didn't have a clue what to do or how to react to her anymore. Throughout the course of her illness, Alana learned to maneuver through the medical system, to advocate for herself, and to build a truly supportive network. She also discovered how to keep her positive spirit intact while undergoing a double mastectomy and ongoing treatment. She is now living cancer-free-a survivor and an advocate. Alana's story is not unique. It's a story that will resonate with anyone who has suffered illness and found themselves navigating a whole new world upon diagnosis. This is an "every-woman's" journey through the experience of cancer, tracing the emotional, physical, and psychological steps that are common to all. In the end, this memoir will offer hope that one can live a healthy, fulfilling, and happy life beyond diagnosis. Holding on to Normal is for anyone who is suffering-or knows someone who is suffering from-a setback in life, and who is looking for inspiration on how to navigate their own journey."--- Subjects: Biographies.; Somerville, Alana; Breast;

- Lump : a novel / by Whitlock, Nathan,author.;
Cat's career has stalled, her marriage has gone flat, and being a stay-at-home mom for two young kids has become a grind. When she finds out, all within a few days, that she is pregnant, that a lump in her breast is the worst thing it could be, and that her husband has done something unforgivably repulsive, she responds by running away from her marriage and her life -- a life that, on the outside, looks like middle-class success. Her actions send waves of chaos through the lives of multiple characters, including a struggling house cleaner, a rich and charismatic yoga guru, and even an ailing dog. What follows is a dark comedy about marriage, motherhood, privilege, and power.- Subjects: Black humor.; Domestic fiction.; Satirical literature.; Novels.; Breast; Husband and wife; Marriage; Motherhood; Mothers;
