Left on Tenth: A Second Chance at Life: A Memoir by Delia Ephron
5.0
I just finished an advanced e-copy of this book.
What an astonishing journey from the lows of loss, to the highs of fresh love to the extreme loss of chronic illness to the abundant highs of having a group of devoted friends and family to help get the author through an excruciating time.
The author is solidly a New Yorker and loves the city, this is abundantly clear- yet her interests allow us to travel with her through some very interesting places and field trips- personally and literally.
Let me just say that this book was a genuine page turner- I could not wait to get home to read more. The journey is an exquisite tale of newly minted love and all the passion that surrounds it mixed with an experimental treatment for an illness that very literally requires the author to rebuild from the very bottom back up with all the emotional swings added in. I was deeply moved and inspired ....and so many other things I cannot grasp quite yet while I digest. I have had chronic illness, I have lost my marriage (to divorce, not death) I have had to lean on good friends. I feel like this book has given me a road map open my heart to second chances. Read this, it's amazing.
