Living in Legacy

A memoir that is both raw and refined, Living in Legacy brutally and beautifully chronicles the most physically and emotionally debilitating and inspiring moments of a vibrant life wholly upended by a medical lightning strike. With the intimacy of a diary, from onset through aftermath, Alexia Monaco lays bare the physicality of her life-threatening diagnosis, wrecking ball treatments, survivorship terrors, and relentless pursuit of peace. Exploring the ovarian cancer cells that define her as victimized and the soul that defines her as heroic, Monaco loses and finds herself, stumbling wildly on her path to enlightenment.
