Smashing Spiders: Year One Shock

by Joseph Lambert

A young, beautiful wife and mother lives gracefully and gratefully each day while battling a vile disease. Her story is captured and retold by her loving and hopelessly optimistic husband, who helps care for her and their three children while struggling to maintain his own positivity and mental health in what seems to be the fight of this family's life. The narration is both an endearing tribute and an honest directive to live each day to the fullest. Weaving in various stories from before, during, and after this husband and wife married and began their family—and their battle with cancer—this memoir takes the reader along their uncertain yet fulfilling journey. The first in a series, this homage to his wife is subtitled Shock to reveal the disbelief one goes through when presented with a grim life sentence. From Manhattan to Brewster, Florida to Ecuador, and all points in between, this young couple's story of love, faith and commitment endures and yes......at times transcends, the harshness and richness of what it means to be human.
