Wasn't Expecting This: Essays on life and family (and you know, cancer) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798988647027)

Adina Ciment started a blog 10 years ago in order to work on her writing. But after a breast cancer diagnosis for her and a brain tumor diagnosis for her son, her blog suddenly shifted onto topics she never expected to write about. Wasn't Expecting This is a collection of her reflections and changing philosophy as she navigated each challenge. It's a collection that explores the changing roles she juggled - mother, patient, and caretaker - and her ultimate discovery of herself as a strong and powerful woman.
