A page-turning debut that should not go unnoticed. A memoir that recounts the cancer journey of a wife and mother reveals the universal truth that appreciating life is complicated.
In August 2017, Cramer was told that she had stage 4 ovarian cancer. During a routine medical appointment, a nurse practitioner examined a bump on the author’s pelvis and quickly handed her a slip to get an urgent CT scan, as though it were a baton in a “relay race.” She was later told that she had a “fourteen-centimeter tumor” and that she must undergo surgery to remove “the big mass…the uterus, ovaries, fallopian tubes, all of it,” and then receive chemotherapy. The memoir describes how Cramer, a New York film editor; her husband, Todd; and their young son, Noah, came to terms with the news. She describes all aspects of her treatment, from awaiting surgery to having a port inserted in her chest for infusions.
She also poses penetrating questions–one chapter, for example, is titled “Should I Fight?”–and approaches the act of wig shopping with wickedly mordant wit: “I sit down in the wig barber’s chair looking like my two-year-old-self refusing to wear underwear because it is itchy.”
The book goes on to explore how the author’s cancer diagnosis has changed her outlook on life, asking “will an illness as serious as this teach me that I no longer need to fix things, and can I finally release my grip and get on with living?”
Cramer’s writing is characterized by an eagle-eyed search for positivity: “Fuck it. I want to live my life not spend time making legacy boxes of my unfinished one.” For the author, this statement is an act of personal catharsis, but her message has an inspirational universality. Some readers may flinch at her bluntness, but for most, her writing will offer revitalizing guidance: “I’m told death is close, it is imperative that I take initiative to go any direction away from stuck.” Overall, this keenly observed memoir delicately balances humor and heartache while signaling the importance of each passing moment.
A profoundly moving remembrance that’s alternately sad and uplifting. $2.99 on Kindle.

They were slick. They were powerful. They were revered. They glided into churches, homes and schools with their carefully polished shoes and were given free reign to commit the vilest acts on innocent children, under the very noses of teachers and parents. If anyone complained, they were moved on by the faceless men of the church hierarchy – to carry on molesting and wreaking havoc in unsuspecting parishes. For decades.
These men of twisted cloth have deceived, manipulated and destroyed lives across the globe. But how did they manage to fool my kind, feisty mother, who’d lived through a bitter romantic betrayal in World War Two, followed by a life of domestic violence with her cruel husband? Who had escaped and followed me from the UK to Australia, forging an independent, vibrant life? Whose golden years should have been productive and peaceful?
Everything changed, for all of us, the day she met the “Monster of Merewether” and was drawn into a den of evil….and this is her story.
