Choosing Hope
One Woman, Three Cancers
AS FEATURED IN:
40 works of Canadian nonfiction to watch for in spring 2020.
Choosing Hope is a truly heroic story about resilience and hope in the face of overwhelming odds and at the threshold of death. It captures the psychological, physical, and emotional impacts of a cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Written as a series of chronological anecdotes, starting with the author’s first heart-breaking diagnosis, when she began to explore and share her experiences in real time; it describes moments of utter darkness and sheer light, of despair and hope, of intense pain and joyful relief. It describes the vital support of family, friends, and hospitals, and the comfort provided by faith.
It is moving and yet finds space for the humour that helped the author to get through; and it does not balk at describing the agony and humiliation that cancer patients endure. The book is published by Mawenzi House.
ENDORSEMENTS
“To say Munira is inspiring is an understatement. She should be angry
with the world but instead is resilient, passionate and fights like hell.
I don’t think I’ve ever encountered anyone more powerful.”
