Wisenberg is acerbic, unsettling, truthful, and often hilarious.” — Rain Taxi “A frank, funny and insightful account of one woman's battle with breast cancer. Wisenberg reveals the realities of life with cancer and how smarts, style and a self-deprecating sense of humor help her fight back against disease.” — Self magazine Cancer Resource
