Cured

With a devastating divorce behind her and her kids starting their own lives, Kate Rice is free. Free to leave the city that broke her heart to return to the mountains she loves. Free to figure out who she is after silencing her voice for years to keep the peace in her marriage, free to live the life she’s always wanted.Instead, she gets a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and mere months to live.She’d been chasing her dreams-singing in a rock band, doing stand-up comedy, and completing a seventeen-mile run over a 13,000-foot mountain in Colorado. How could she have cancer? And not just any cancer, but anaplastic thyroid cancer, one of the fastest growing and most aggressive cancers with a median survival rate of four months.But Kate intends to not just survive but thrive. Armed with a sense of humor, an indomitable spirit, and a tenacious will to live, Kate tackles cancer treatment with a joie de vivre that surgeries, radiation, chemo and immunotherapy can’t dim.By turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Cured chronicles one woman’s transcendental and against-the-odds quest of love, heartbreak, courage, hope, badassery, and determination to not only live, but live life to the fullest.
