"Price's narrative of his painful and debilitating fight with spinal cancer is both brutally honest about his illness and suffering and the onset of his disabilities and lovely in his recognition of the love and care he receives from friends and relatives and his joy in his renewed ability to write. I'd recommend it to anyone but especially to anyone dealing with severe pain and catastrophic illness, their own or that of someone they love. I read it in a few hours--it had that strong a narrative pull."
"Price writes his reflections on "beating" an unbeatable form of cancer. He relates a divine healing in words that will take your breath away, but he also deftly relates his "whole new life" -- alive, but crippled forever. It is in his whole new life, post-cancer, that he learns the secrets of living to the fullest."
