"This is an extraordinary spiritual memoir of one woman s struggle
with life and death. Debbie Masel writes of her life with cancer
with a rare and passionate truthfulness, in which fear, pain,
humour and a profound engagement with her Jewish faith all find
their place. The rich humanity of her writing makes for compelling
reading." -- Dr Avivah Zornberg, Renowned biblical scholar, writer,
and lecturer
"I know it will mean a lot as much as a book can mean to a lot of
people". -- Professor James Kugel, Professor Emeritus of Classical
