Sharon Wanslee was a native of Tucson, Arizona . When she got cancer in the 1970s, she was determined to conquer it. Her autobiography consists of 38 chapters ---each a slice of her life--but each leads to a "Survival Rule," for conquering cancer. Her own "Survival Rules" gave her over 20 years of life, which her doctors never thought possible. Invaluable for those with cancer -- or other major illness -- or life trauma such as divorce.
