A 2012 New York Times Book Review Notable Book "Staggering, searing…Ms. Gubar deserves the highest admiration for her bravery and honesty." —New York Times Diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2008, Susan Gubar underwent radical debulking surgery, an attempt to excise the cancer by removing part or all of many organs in the lower abdomen. Her memoir mines the deepest levels of anguish and devotion as she struggles to come to terms with her body’s betrayal and the frightful protocols of contemporary medicine. She finds solace in the abiding love of her husband, children, and friends while she searches for understanding in works of literature, visual art, and the testimonies of others who suffer with various forms of cancer. Ovarian cancer remains an incurable disease for most of those diagnosed, even those lucky enough to find caring and skilled physicians. Memoir of a Debulked Woman is both a polemic against the ineffectual and injurious medical responses to which thousands of women are subjected and a meditation on the gifts of companionship, art, and literature that sustain people in need.

Lt. Jake Cooper received his first missive from 6-year old Brianna MacKenzie in 1967 while leading a SeAL team in Vietnam. He didn't have time for a second grade child; he hardly had time to finish the paperwork required at the end of each mission! But after reading Brianna's letter, he decided maybe it wouldn't be so bad; after all, it would only take a minute to reply. That minute turned into years of correspondence and sharing. Years of happiness and sadness. Years of secrets and promises. And now that Brianna is finally an adult, it's Jake whom she wants. Will he want her? Someone he remembers as a child? A school girl?
