I always thought I'd just curl up and die if I was ever diagnosed with cancer or any other life-threatening disease. But I surprised myself. I had more strength than I knew I had. I decided I wanted to live. Cancer is a bitch. My ability to find humor even in the lowest points of my life, and my determination to deal with the disease with as much grace as possible, got me through. Many cancer patients, I learned, shut themselves off from everything — work, play, love, sex. But I didn't. Yes, I felt horrible for many months of my journey, but I still forged on. I exercised, I went to rock concerts, I was at the helm of a 161-foot sailboat and I even made love to a man I treasured, when I had one breast. This is my story about a girl, a woman, going through the horror of breast cancer, yet trying to remain among the living.
Linda Ball was born and raised in the great and wild state of Alaska, a second-generation, genuine Alaskan. In 1996, she moved to what Alaskans call the "lower 48." She has had an adventurous life — then the boom dropped when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2011. Ms. Ball has worked as a journalist for both daily and weekly newspapers since 2001, winning several awards. This is her first book.
