About this audiobook
In her award-winning candid and witty memoir, Jodi Orgill Brown recounts how her life was transformed when, as a thirty-three-year-old wife and mother, she was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Unwilling to accept her fate, Jodi's family searches for help to fight against the odds. But the very surgery that could save her life thrusts her into a new battle, leaving her own children fearing their mother's changed appearance and physical failings. Can she persevere, even with an injured body and spirit? Interweaving the inspiring, provoking, and sometimes disturbing, Jodi reveals the hells and highs of her journey as she fights for hope and purpose—and life.
