No Cure for Being Human by Kate Bowler
I devoured Kate Bowler's first book in a very short time. So when I read
No Cure for Being Human, I made myself slow down and savor this one.
Bowler has a way of making me think and reflect on both her life and my
life. She also can make me cry and she can make me laugh. Sometimes
almost at the same time.
No Cure for Being Human is more of her
true story about her life as she has faced a cancer diagnosis as a young
mom, married wife, friend and family member. She shares things
realistically. I almost feel like I am standing with her in the doctor's
office or wanting to hold her hand as she waits for the oncologist's
report. Having been with a few doctors myself this summer, reading her
work, has caused me to nod my head as I think about my own doctor
visits. I also could relate to her thoughts on how to deal with life
after such a diagnosis. Should she make a bucket list? How should she
live her best life after her own body tried to kill her (as she says)?
I
would recommend No Cure for Being Human to anyone and everyone. But to someone who
has to deal with a difficult diagnosis, I think it could be especially
helpful. I enjoyed reading her story and her realistic, but refreshing
outlook on life.
I received a copy of this book from the author and the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
