Lisa Ray Instagram – @readinglife0602 Hey guys !! I started reading this book for a reason and this post is not just a review or a summary but something so close to my heart. The reason for choosing this book was bec my mother was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and from that day, I have been continuously interacting with the people who have experienced this.. that’s how I got Lisa Ray. Though the book deals with cancer only with a few chapters, it could hold me with its beauty of words and contents . Be it dealing with the societal norms or the impact of her mother’s accident on her life ,or the way she was avoiding the msgs her body was sending . From the introvert child trying to escape from the world to the cancer graduate ,from the complicated love and heartbreaks to finding the true love ,I was hooked up with the book as if she was holding my hand and taking me through various chapters of her life .Everything was so beautifully written..She is an incredible author . There were sentences which kind of stopped me and made me reread them, making me say wow with the amazing choice of words and the comparison she does with various things of life . So original and so beautiful !! As I flipped through the pages ,I was really worried and had some sort of terror in me specially at those pages where she speaks more about multiple myeloma.. Some pages made my heart skip a beat bec I have felt all that with my mom..I shared every detail of this book with my mom to give her more strength and to show her, how Lisa fought the disease and now living a happy life . With this book I came to know how impt it is to educate her about cancer and how to give her more strength. And I truly felt my mother has become more confident now, accepting herself gracefully . And we will overcome this for sure !! I really didn’t want this book to end .. Lisa should continue writing bec I know she will have a lot more to say on her journey .. Giving you more strength. We are proud of you for being the fighter and for your continued efforts in raising awareness for Multiple myeloma.. Keep inspiring !! Indeed a must read !!
