Erin
Higgins was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at 31 years old.
During the next two and a half years, she kept journals and worked with
holistic health practitioner Alma
Lightbody. After her death, Lightbody followed Higgins’ wishes and compiled
the journals into the new memoir “My
Wonderful Nightmare: Spiritual Journals Inspired by Cancer.”
Readers will discover with Higgins her shocking cancer
diagnosis and face with her the questions about her very existence. Readers
will also see Higgins’ arguments with herself about her spirituality and
her life.
An excerpt from “My Wonderful Nightmare”:
“We’ve never been taught to listen to our body and it’s tragic. I somehow knew the results of the surgery before they told me. If I had been more in tune with my body I would have known earlier. I hadn’t paid attention and didn’t know how.”
“There is a lot to learn about life and death and everything
in between,” Lightbody says. “Many people never reach the depth of inner
understanding that Erin shares as she faces the beast head-on.”
