Radical Survivor: One Woman's Path Through Life, Love, and Uncharted Tragedy by

Description: Radical Survivor by Bonnie Blair Cruikshank, Nancy Saltzman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "Radical Survivor" chronicles elementary school principal Nancy Saltzmans extraordinary saga as a two-time cancer survivor who lost her entire family in a small-plane crash. Told with honesty, insight, and laugh-out-loud flashes of humor, Radical Survivor traverses the full spectrum of human emotions. Several aspects of this book make it unique among memoirs: - The author has experienced an extraordinary number of life challenges: two bouts of breast cancer (resulting in a mastectomy and hysterectomy) before she turned forty; the loss of her entire family-husband and two young sons-in a small-plane crash when she was in her early forties; the death of her best friend in an auto accident; the premature death of her sister; losing her father to cancer and her mother to Alzheimers Disease. - The story is uncommonly open and honest about what one must go through in a catastrophic accident resulting in multiple deaths. Yet it also shares the strength that can be mustered when necessary, and showcases one womans remarkable resilience in the face of ultimate loss.- The book is enriched by letters to the author interwoven with narrative throughout the book. Most of the notes were received after the death of her family, but some are mementos from her husband and entries from her sons journals before they died. These sentiments give the book added depth and poignancy. - Unlike many books about surviving personal tragedy, this is not a story of religious wakening or reliance on faith. The author finds her way within and by herself, with the support and love of friends and family. Religion is not ignored, but is also not the foundation of her strength.- Despite the sadness of the books key circumstances, there is also a surprising amount of humor, joy and hope. As one reviewer noted, "Saltzman mixes the mundane with the morbid, and the painful with plenty of humor." Author Biography Dr. Nancy Saltzman is an Indiana Hoosier who now calls Colorado her home.
