Publisher's Synopsis
The imminence of death crystallizes what matters from the furniture of our lives, including who are saviors and enemies, so this authentic lurching journey through the eyes of a lawyer having the world's latest drug is relevant to everyone touched by cancer.Senior Melbourne litigation lawyer Mark Steadman survives against bleak odds. He reels against the haunting prophesy of his stage four cancer diagnosis, the opportunistic challenge to his place in the law firm he founded, and the grief he feels for the possibility he may die before his two young children grow up. He searches through dark moments for purpose and resolve. Sometimes he wins. Sometimes not. A few people in Mark's life become his saviors. Others try to derail him for their own agendas. His biggest prize is better relationships, even with his wife despite being separated. Perhaps they will even repair their relationship. Mark is offered a chance to see if he has any cancer left, but what will he decide? Once he learns to dance with the beast that is cancer, If that all goes away will the silver linings vanish? Perhaps he will become his old self. Perhaps his new self is better? Reviews: "I couldn't put it down until I got to the last page.
