Born with spina bifida and taken home to die, author Diane Glass thrived despite a dire prognosis. Yet she harbored a sense of unworthiness related to her body's imperfections. Not until she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 52 did she move away from secrecy and toward candor, away from fear and toward acceptance, away from resistance and toward resilience. This bold memoir challenges our assumptions about what is public and what is private. Whether Diane takes the floor when the spotlight shines on her or sits on the sidelines, leads or surrenders, moves forward or back, her life dances with creative energy.
