Cancer in the Time of Covid and other remarkable moments (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798246021460)

Cancer in the Time of Covid and other remarkable moments is the true first-person account of a university professor's coming to terms with a cancer diagnosis in the middle of a pandemic and near the end of his teaching career.

The story unfolds as the author is teaching courses remotely and building a cabin called Birdland on property he and his wife have owned on Lake Superior for over three decades. Working in isolation in the Minnesota woods, he describes the experience of surgery and its ramifications, leading to flashbacks from his life. Among them are scenes from childhood, growing up and falling in love, the experience of infertility, a disastrous adoption, suicide, and ultimately a sense of healing as the author prepares for his Third Act.
