5 Months 10 Years 2 Hours Author:Lisa Reisman When a disillusioned New York attorney decides to leave the law, buy a lipstick-red convertible, and hit the road, she doesn't expect to wake up in a hospital room with a malignant brain tumor and a prognosis of one year to live.

Lisa Reisman writes with unflinching clarity about what it means to have your life taken to the edge where, along with its possible end, you see your own flawed self.

I recommend it to anyone who wants to understand what life is really about." - Joan Leegant, Wherever You Go« less
