This courageous and wise book offers a selfless glimpse into one man's journey with cancer, from the initial shock to inner rebirth, and the gradual discovery of light in the darkness. Diagnosed with a brain tumour, William Ward describes the procession of hospitals, surgeons, pain and powerful drugs without a trace of self-pity or sentimentalism. At the same time, he invites the reader to follow his inner path of fear, self-examination, regrets and ultimately, hope.
