Lopsided

By the age of thirty -four Meredith Norton had been a hymnal editor art restorer game-show producer and a public school teacher. She'd even lived in a tree house and shepherded goats in Minorca. But none of these unusual experiences prepared her for the most dramatic turn her life would take: the diagnosis of an aggressive form of breast cancer. In this brilliantly funny and irreverent memoir Norton approaches the disease with a refreshing combination of humor and tenacity railing against victimhood and self-pity and refusing to become a stereotype. <p/> Told with a razor-sharp wit akin to David Sedaris and Augusten Burroughs Lopsided is most definitely not a typical cancer memoir; it's the bitingly funny debut of a natural-born social observer.
