Kairol Rosenthal’s Everything Changes
I just read one of the best things I have ever read about cancer, and although we have a review in our book review section about it, I wanted to mention it here. Besides being a great read (I read it in two sittings and could not put it down), Kairol Rosenthal’s Everything Changes is entertaining, full of great resources, and? thoroughly? profound.?
Parts of this book made me vividly recall my own experiences. I had the “oh really? you too?” reaction that I crave and that is so rarely satisfied. Her take on things, her attitude, and her honestly are all perfectly in line with Waiting Room’s mission. Surprisingly, I was also reminded of personal details relating to the experiences of my friends Tracy and Cindy, of whose late stage cancer I was a part. I know that they both would have related to this book and loved it.
Everything Changes is both a personal history and a record of interviews. The people she speaks to become part of her experience, and the way that the interviews are shared adds depth and weight to her story. They are also records of other people’s experiences that, if isolated, are meaningful and important on their own.
Buy it. Its worth it.
Her blog is also great
