  <default_description>&quot;I was only 25 years old when I became a widow,&quot; Cathy Bueti writes in this gripping memoir of courage and survival. &quot;He was my high school sweetheart and, like Romeo and Juliet, we fell in love when we were only 15 years old.&quot; But her husband's shocking death in a car crash is only the beginning of Cathy Bueti's story. Six years later, at age 31, emotionally recovered, with a career and a new life, she was suddenly diagnosed with breast cancer. This is Cathy Bueti's astonishing, very human story - ultimately a journal of a unique woman who survives every challenge life can place before her.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this because our local library was hosting a talk by the author.  It was a very fast read, written rather simply.  The author, widowed at 26 and then diagnosed with breast cancer, tells us what it was like to date while undergoing treatment and surgery with little support from her estranged p...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/8102744">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Great story, but I found that the author's writing style left something to be desired. I would have liked to see more polish in her storytelling. Nevertheless, she's led a fascinating life that no 30-something should have to lead.]]></body>
