I Dealt With Cancer and Won: Dedicated to the rest of my life... (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781537184555)

My name is Maxine Jannette. At the time of this writing I am 76-years-old. I was born in Illinois, not far from the Mississippi River. I spent a lot of time on the river when I was growing up. I came to Almond, Wisconsin when I was twelve. I lived on a huge farm where we raised chickens, pigs and some cows. We also raised crops. It was hard work but I loved farming. I learned a lot and I would do it again if I could. In 1957 I married a man whom I thought was a farmer. I had three children. It turned out my husband was better suited to carpentry and construction. I found out I loved carpentry and construction as much as I loved farming. I especially loved running the bulldozer. I've still got a lot of work to do. God isn't through with me yet! Co-author: Julie C. Eger lives in Wisconsin with her husband and a black Golden Doodle. Julie has been to a few places. She's lived in houses, worn some shoes, had some hairstyles, bought a red dress, banged on drums. She knows a thing or two about rocks and totems. She's a girl, daughter, sister, woman, mother, ex-wife, wife, grandma. She's panned for gold, water-skied over alligators in the Mississippi Bayou, spent a day at a nude beach in Jamaica. She's been in the dog house, missed a payment, burned breakfast, smelled the roses, stopped the car, stayed out too late, addressed the envelope upside down, forgot to call, ran a red light, written in the dark, sang her heart out, lived on rice and beans, slept in her car, drank too many margaritas too fast, and won a contest or two. She has loved. She has been loved. But most of all, she hopes you'll like what she's written.
