More than 207,000 women were diagnosed with invasive breast
cancer in 2010. These are women with families and friends, careers
and hobbies, and joys and challenges. In "MARGINAL," author Susie
Werle Larkin explores the world of breast cancer victims and their
loved ones.
A collection of rst-person, ctional narratives, "MARGINAL"
follows members of a weekly breast cancer support group as they
express their struggles, explore their emotions, reveal their
souls, describe their past choices, and clear their consciences.
The group is composed of a diverse range of people with varied
backgrounds and experiences.
Winnie learns that spending time with loved ones is more
important than material possessions. Billy, who owns a mechanic's
shop, realizes he may have to divorce his wife, su ering from
breast cancer, so he doesn't lose everything in order to pay the
medical bills. John and his wife, who was diagnosed with Stage IV
breast cancer, consider a stem cell transplant.
Told through the eyes of caregivers, "MARGINAL" shows how breast
cancer changes the scope of lives. The beliefs of yesterday may not
be the beliefs of today, and with one pull of the right piece of
string, the tapestry of people's lives can begin to unravel.
