The best non fiction book I have ever read. I am a student of medicine and I cannot tell you how much exposure I gained reading this, regardless of my past knowledge. Dr Mukherjee's novel seamlessly integrates science, history, policy, politics and the human connection.  Looking back as he has done will undoubtedly provide insights into the future on how to beat the family of diseases known as cancer. The book gets seriously technical sometimes but not without reason. I highly recommend to who is curious cancer, has a loved one who has struggled with it or anyone looking for a great read!  You will not be disappointed.

Sometimes we feel as though our past is best left in the past. But that is not always the truth.the past can sometimes come back to haunt you or destroy what you hold near and dear. If we say we love and believe in God we have to trust him to be there for us to help us to work it out. Sometimes we can bury our past and never have to deal with it again, unless we come across someone who is vindictive and out to cause pain and discord. But trusting in gods word and promises most often times will see us through the toughest times in our lives. But the best thing to remember loves conquers all if it's true love. Be Blessed. Doris

This book has made me think back to some of the situations in my life. Yes there could have been a very big difference, But being spiritually led by God, we all have something in our lives to endure, for God knows the path that we will take. All of our trials and tribulations are to make us stronger and some of our situations that we go through aren't always about us, Nevertheless it's about our Faith!

We all arrive to adulthood with a wide variety of regrets, disappointments and things we would like to change about how we've gone along the path of life. Robin Hemley has taken a look at the placed along his path he would like to try again at -- moving from early experiences, like kindergarten through prom and frat membership and more. The book is a look into the present and into the past and what makes us who we are -- and how much of that is (or is not) up for change. A thoughtful read that might be great for a bookclub discussion.

This story shows not all is as it appears to be, that we need to look below the surface and appreciate people for who they are not how they appear. Also allows for love coming at any age or circumstance.

At some point in most people's lives, they are faced with those turning points that require you to make a conscious choice to move forward or allow your past hurts to rule and ruin your life. This is the story of Victoria, who on reaching those moments of dissatisfaction with her life: successful and on track in the eyes of many, finds herself in a crisis of why.  On the death of her beloved Nanny, Victoria begins to feel more at odds with her life, without family after some unrevealed upheaval, and limited in friends.

Told in a combination of first and third person voicing, the story moves briskly from point to point, allowing the reader to see the generosity of spirit that Victoria displays, the frustration in her relationship with her mother, and her dissatisfaction with her single status.  Decisions need to be made, and Victoria resigned her position in the unit, and starts to examine her life more closely, airing out the skeletons in the family closet.  With a chance encounter with a former patient, and a blooming love; the story moves on much like a life's journey, allowing the reader to feel and see her growth and the freedom that letting the past go can bring.  A story that will encourage and enlighten readers to the cleansing powers of taking charge of your life, Sandy Appleyard has managed to combine several elements into a neat and easy to follow story that will consistently entertain and surprise through the last page.
