Surrender Flash

by Janet Goodfriend

Surrender Flash unveils a multifaceted tale of survival whereby Sadie conceives three wild what-if scenarios. With life flashing before her very eyes, she’ll wholly inhabit varying personas ensnared by former lovers before awakening in a cloud of anesthesia to her chosen beloved. Nearly a decade through post-surgical symptoms from elusive medical advice, she is arrested with advanced stage cancer from a rare genetic disorder. As the hospital world dances through her life, she encapsulates what it means to live honorably especially when so much is working to dissolve her. All for her loyal family, the fortune of top rate medical staff and devoted friends, she keeps up the fight. Ensuing epiphanic moments inspire and amuse through the most unconventional mediums like an enormous stuffed toy hung from a construction crane, a nurse administering conscious sedation, a harpist playing Stairway to Heaven next to an up escalator, and a spectacular barred owl inciting a staring contest. Ultimately, it is Sadie spiraling upward for a bird’s eye view to teeter over the horizon of possibility.

[Jeff · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will carry you on a journey inside and out of Sadie as she discovers herself and her love of family while faced with a life threatening enemy we all know as cancer. You will laugh, you will cry - but probably not as much as I did. My name is Jeff, but after you read this book you can call me Dale...
