About the Book
A wounded war veteran and a feisty cancer patient romantically conspire to change the western ideas of death and dying through love, drugs and family affairs. His story reveals a psychosomatic will that shapes his paralysis into a phenomenon that baffles doctors. She bounces, sexes and eats her way through cancer treatment leaving everyone she meets satisfied in ways unimaginable. The couple meets in therapy under the guidance of a social worker who in her naivete tracks their experience through a maze of scenarios that delve into the issues that sadden and inspire us all: disability, cancer, health care systems, resiliency and love. Your hearts will beat as one as we join the courageous and hilarious antics of these two “marked for death” and then choose life: kicking, screaming and laughing at every page along the way.
