A Dose of Reality: Losing William to the Big Business of Cancer in America

Can you imagine the perfect love showing up on your doorstep when you weren't looking for it at all?--the kind of love you never thought you'd find? Deborah Childs found that love, but she also discovered the hardship of losing something so precious. Even worse, she will never believe it had to go the way it did. "A Dose of Reality" is an award-winning memoir about loving and losing a man named William. It is a love story with surprises that hint at the mysteries of life, questions the integrity and effectiveness of the health care system in America, addresses end-of-life issues, and leaves you knowing that a love so rare is worth every ounce of the pain involved in losing it. But if losing it could have been prevented, wouldn't you want to know how?
