Mary Jo Hoffman lived an extraordinary life-not because of what she said, but because of who she was. Her words were like thunder because her life was like lightning. Life After tells her inspiring story of faith and courage. It begins on the rolling prairie of an Iowan farm; shifts through the corridors of power in Washington, DC; and ends with what Mary Jo called the "Cancer Diet" But it doesn't really end there. As the author writes, Mary Jo Hoffman was admired for her beauty and talent, but she was beloved for her faith and kindness. She left a legacy of faith and relationships, and her story continues to inspire all who read it. Life After is a story of faith, relationships, and a few lesser things. It inspires and enlightens with every turn of the page.
My mom gave me this book, a biography about a friend of hers who had died of cancer written by her husband. I think it's nice that he pulled it together, particularly for the sake of their young children, but on the whole it wasn't all that interesting for an outsider.
