A Hole in My Genes by Dr. Jodie Fleming. This cancer survivor memoir is particularly compelling because the author is a psychologist who, before her own breast cancer diagnosis, specialized in "psycho-oncology" counseling cancer patients.
Mira's Way by Amy Maroney. This is the second book in Maroney's historical fiction Miramonde Series. I just finished the first book, A Girl from Oto and absolutely loved it. Read my Rose City Reader interview of Amy Maroney.

It's uncanny that a cancer counselor would end up with cancer herself. I think it would be an interesting memoir.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are enjoying the Maroney historical fiction series. It does look good.
ReplyDeleteA Hole in My Genes sounds interesting too.
Happy Reading!
I had a cousin who worked as a registered nurse in the cancer ward of a hospital. She smoked and died of cancer. Just shows how addictive cigarettes are.
