But under the surface Lydia's life was in free-fall. Her new marriage was one argument after another, she had a job she never wanted, and for some reason she had begun to rapidly lose weight and turn a strange shade of yellowish-green. When she made a doctor's appointment to talk about the toll of extreme stress, she was instead admitted with a diagnosis of lymphoma. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e As a cancer survivor, Lydia tries to piece back together her marriage, her career, and her own worth. She begins to rewrite her value as a human being and build her own version of faith until, finally, she is moving forward instead of back. It's an imperfect rebirth, but \"perfection\" is something she must abandon if she is to at last find the perspective that will open a new, calm, healthy life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lydia Slaby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1633310280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781633310285\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Disruption Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.70d","brand":"Lydia Slaby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984766992639,"sku":"9781633310285","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2171891e-6310-4637-b150-249c1262c2a1.jpg?v=1683274076","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/wait-it-gets-worse-lydia-slaby-9781633310285","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
