Cheri has been living with cancer for many years. Now, she is dying. As she navigates the final weeks of her life, and takes charge of the manner of her death, she is flooded with childhood memories, and returns to the present with a renewed appreciation for the brilliance of life around her: the autumn has never been so beautiful, her daughters never as radiant. Brave, incredibly strong and deeply loved, Cheri makes one last nerve-wracking journey across the country with her girls and her friends, knowing relief waits welcoming as a frozen lake on the other side. A masterpiece of fiction and memory, Cheri is a heart-breaking but glorious celebration of all the moments of beauty and pain that make an individual life, right up until its very last moments. 650 0 $a Cancer $x Patients $v Fiction. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781800817876 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240305043613.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=5E6B69727A0E11EE96FE52224AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
