Charlie Hills has been trying to write a novel for nearly two decades without much success. Will a Stage IV diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma finally help him cross the finish line? Probably not. But the cancer subplot helps keep it interesting anyway.In spite of the seriousness of topic, the real purpose of this memoir is to entertain. It’s not supposed to help you. Or inspire you. Or even make you wish you too might someday contract a grave illness to write about. It’s just an account of one interesting year of Charlie’s life along with his enduring ambition to write a novel. And while things do get serious here and there, that’s just an underhanded literary device he’s employed to keep the story moving forward. In the end, it’s all for fun.If you never thought the words light, breezy, and entertaining could be used to describe a cancer story, then crack this one open and see for yourself.
