Having just lost my brother to cancer this week, Fran made me aware of how difficult the struggle is in this book. Who doesn't love Fran Drescher and to see her as a normal person dealing with a life threatening event makes me feel closer to her. She doesn't pull any punches in this book. It's down to earth.

Greatly moving, inspiring and even funny read about Fran Drescher's battle with cancer, the end of her marriage and her tv show, the Nanny. You will laugh and cry! An excellent and fast paced book!

What wonderful book! If you have ever read her earlier book, Enter Whining, you will be amazed at how much she has matured since then.
