About the Book
ABOUT THE BOOK Our lives, after the diagnosis and subsequent treatment, of my husband for a brain tumor, clearly have taken a path less traveled. Yet our journey has and continues to be, a journey of hope, of joy and of unyielding commitment. We invite you into our lives, a view of our childhood, marriage, a marriage separate from convention, yet strongly bound. Join us as we recall the last twenty-five years — twenty of which have been spent LIVING with a brain tumor. Come, witness our challenges and discover our triumphs as we reinvent our relationship, struggle to redefine marriage roles, communication styles, and reclaim intimacy after illness. "Patti Gauvin is a brave and caring soul."~Bernie Siegel, MD
