Welcome to the Smorgasbord Christmas Book Fair with a selection of books from personally recommended authors on my bookshelf I believe will make wonderful gifts for friends, family and for you.

The first book today is the poignant memoir by Miriam Hurdle…it is an inspiring read and I can recommend The Winding Road: A Journey of Survival.

About the book

In the summer of 2008, Miriam Hurdle was diagnosed with melanoma-an aggressive and invasive cancer in her internal organs. The survival rate before 2008 was low. Besides risking harsh treatments for a slim chance of survival, Miriam had hoops to jump through. By the time she received treatment at the beginning of 2009, her cancer had progressed from stage II to stage IV. It was a rough and uphill winding road. But alongside her was support and encouragement. Accompanied by the love of her family and community, this…

Smorgasbord Book Reviews – #Cancer – The Winding Road: A Journey of Survival by Miriam Hurdle

Posted on by 24 comments

I’m a guest at Sally Cronin’s Smorgasbord Magazine. Wow! What a great joy and wonderful surprise this morning to find the first review of my new book, The Winding Road. I appreciated Sally’s insightful and reflective review of my story and generously shared it on her blog. Please head over to read the post on her content-rich magazine.

My husband and I spent a week with the grandkids. We’re now in Port Angeles, and Sequim, Washington, for our anniversary. We planned to go to Victoria, BC. Two days before flying to Portland, I discovered my passport had expired six months ago. Canada would let me in with the expired passport, but the US wouldn’t let me return with it being expired. I canceled the Victoria trip in the last minute and re-booked it for Port Angeles. I’m glad to have discovered it at this time. My sister has a destination wedding in Canada in November and I need a valid passport.
