One ordinary woman's journey through breast cancer and out the other side. Meredith Norton is in love, and moves to Paris to be with her husband. She thought that coming to grips with the French and how they live life was hard enough - and then she discovered that she had breast cancer.
Funny, sharp and witty, Meredith chronicles her experiences, starting with her bizarre symptoms while living in Paris, to moving back home to California and her compulsive parents with their five TV sets. Irreverent and incredibly funny, Meredith rails against self-pity and victimhood, and rants about the innumerable copies of Lance Armstrong's cancer survival book offered by well meaning friends. And deals with 'my pig-hunting Buddhist ex-boy-friend who believed that organic meat and meditation could make me better'. 'Most astounding was my unrevelation, the revelation that I would not be having a revelation, something to help me progress towards the enlightened being I hope to become effortlessly.'
