Inhaltsangabe

What do Ikea flat packs, Whistler's Mother, and mysterious comets each have in common with cancer? Well, everything and nothing at all. They have been the difference between living with metastatic cancer and simply living. Since 2011 Jo was enrolled in the cancer classroom. Lessons learnt include; resilience, acceptance, purpose, distraction, adaptability, perspective and a master class in humour. But this book is not just about cancer. I is also a story of hope and how purpose can give you the greatest strength to help walk alongside the most greatest of challenges. To counteract cancer's chaos, Jo chases normal.

Jo Rothwell grew up in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. Australia. The travel bug hit in her early 20s and the lure of foreign countries saw her work and travel in Europe for many years.

The My Adventure and One Yelpy Kelpie series explores specific Australian themes and destinations. Continuing this theme, she has launched the Australian Adventure Passport. Her children's books are on the Premiers Reading Challenge list and have sold over 200,000 copies and she proudly donates thousands of copies to charities.Her 'Aloysius the Ram at Chateau de Lalande' picture book series raises much-needed funds for research into paediatric brain cancer.Jo was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011 and a subsequent metastatic prognosis in 2015; however, she continues to write stories and values her time encouraging children to read and to explore Australia.Shifting her focus to non-fiction, Jo has just released 'Chasing Normal - Balancing the Ups and Downs of Life and Cancer, A Memoir'.
