I found this novel to be incredibly inspirational. Shari went through what I believe is everyone's worse nightmare. I have a fear of going in for surgery and having something go wrong. I can't imagine the struggle and hardship she went through when she found out what happened to her.

Shari describes her time right before the surgery, her divorce, and her attempt to begin dating again. Everything seemed to be going well when was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She was told over and over that the surgery would be easy. She would be back to her life in no time. They were wrong.

I would recommend this book. I enjoyed reading it. The book did not take long at all to read. You read about Shari working hard to build her life back as best as she can. You get glimpses of how the people around her helped, how her children coped with this abrupt change in their lives, and how Shari struggled to find strength. The only problem I had was how the book was structured. Some chapters felt like they were repeated or pieces of the chapter had already been explained in the previous ones.
