Everything Happens for a Reason is compelling reading. I had to keep reading to find out what happens next! Kate Bowler gives it to you straight and can see humor when the diagnosis is dark.
At the end of the book, she gives you options of what to do that is helpful and the definitive list of what never to say. For instance, never say, "Well, at least you had...(a husband, baby, Christmas, career, time to say goodbye, a chance to see NY, your son take his first steps...) because it is cruel and it minimizes pain. She has suffered as much though peoples' remarks as well as the chemo drugs! Interesting and insightful reading!
