1995 was, for Julia Sweeney, a truly horrible year. She got a divorce (amicable), bought a small bungalow in Hollywood, and looked forward to a life that said, "Here dwells a happily single young woman!" But then the ax fell. Her younger brother Mike was diagnosed with terminal cancer and moved in with her. Her parents came to be with Mike--and moved in with her. Suddenly her tiny bungalow for one was filled to the rafters with Sweeneys. Here she was sleeping on her pull-out sofa bed while her father walked around, his Walkman on all day and her mother marveled at Julia's lack of such staples as stroganoff mixes. Every day was spent bringing Mike to and from chemotherapy, every evening watching "Chicago Hope" or "E.R." Julia was now on seriously intimate terms with the people she had spent half a lifetime growing up away from.Just weeks before Mike died, Julia was diagnosed with a rare form of cervical cancer--what Mike called her "sympathy cancer"--and within days of burying her brother, she underwent a radical hysterectomy, beginning her own journey through "the International House of Cancer."  From these Job-like travails, Julia has written a remarkably funny and touching memoir about a family in extremis that manages to persevere with humor, grace, and love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laughing through tears
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2012

Someone sent me this book when I was recovering from a double mastectomy 12 years ago, and it made me laugh. The author pokes fun at herself, her family, and other people without being insulting. I loved it; occasionally I had to stop reading because I couldn't see through my tears. I loaned the book to a friend; that became a permanent "loan." When another friend was diagnosed with breast cancer recently I remembered the basic content of this book but couldn't remember the author or title. So I googled something like "Pat from SNL" and bingo! That worked! So I bought two copies, one for my friend, and one for myself. Undoubtedly another friend will be diagnosed with cancer some day, and I will give my copy to him or her ... it's longer-lasting than flowers, and easier than a casserole. Laughter really is good medicine!

What a book! You will adore Julia Sweeney! My daughters and myself flew through this book and was sad when we finished! Julia, with her incredible way of looking at every situation, whether it be the worst on earth or happy times really makes the reader appreciate her humor and candid way of dealing with it all! She is an asset to earth, and I am glad God sent her here to help us look at life and do one of those great big "HA, HA, HA'S" too!

Sweeney's writing is easy to read and her story is touching. I l iked her monologue better, but this is yet another insight into her life. She is a delight and has a way of bringing us into her life. n every page I'd have liked MORE--of her thinking, of the details of her world.
