This book chronicles the path from discovery to cancer diagnosis, through treatment to a year on down the line. The roller coaster of turmoil and emotion the author went through is charted in these poems. From the initial shock and disbelief there follows fear, confusion, planning, plotting, anguish and anger. There is also humour and a hopeful ending.

Having been an avid reader and writer for most of her life, this is Leigh’s first published work. She is a proud mum and nanny who enjoys crafts, knitting, sewing and puzzles but not cooking. She likes nature, peace, quiet and solitude but not the fast-paced buzz of modern technology. She is the tortoise, not the hare.
