When diagnosed with breast cancer, Diane Manahan decided to share her entire journey openly. A professor of nursing, married to a doctor trained in both conventional and holistic medicine, Diane integrated  complementary therapies with orthodox cancer treatments. She enjoyed a full, vibrant life for the next five and a half years.

This inspiring story describes her cancer years and extraordinary death at home, the care of her body by loved ones, and the family's powerful experience at the crematorium. The book ends with a glimpse of Diane's ongoing journey as friends tell of comforting lessons offered by her enduring spirit.

A supplemental guidebook offers practical suggestions for dealing with a life-threatening illness or death.
