"e;I am glad to have been permitted to learn to live with, ratherthan simply die from, cancer,"e; remarks Rose Rappaport in one passageof this lucid, unsentimental, and transcendent collection of essays onher sojourn with the illness that eventually took her life. "e;Mostly I amglad to measure my life, not in terms of what it once was or what Imight have wished it to be, but of how wonderful it is now."e;It was a transformative experience for her that shed profound lighton the changeable meanings of work, love, friendship, and growth. Theessays she left will as surely alter anyone fortunate enough to read them.
