The Cancer Club

On the comeback side of bald, exhaustion and eternal nausea, successful late-30s writer Marly Mitchellshe, plans a healing journey with loving friends to her favorite vacation destinations in search of PEACE. Instead, she encounters a universe in ashes: a separation in her parents' "perfect marriage"; ex boyfriends who show up inconveniently and continually (including the fianc e who dumped her post diagnosis); an agent who hounds her, and rightfully so, for her next already paid-for manuscript; a fumbling and embarrassing re-intro to sexuality. And let's not forget the ego thumping she receives courtesy of the mythology of boobs in Western culture Thank God for the angels of mercy, albeit with tart tongues and scathing truths, Marly calls the Cancer Club, who share and share alike their pain and fear in a way only fellow sufferers can understand. This poignant, sexy, humorous and inspirational novel is bound to become a book club favorite. Note: Significant inspiration for this book was provided by the writings and life of stage and TV actress and Jim Henson puppeteer Eren Ozker (1948 -1993)
