It's Not about the Hair

For more than two decades, author Debra Jarvis has counseled cancer patients in her work as a chaplain. Then, in an ironic twist, she herself was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer. This warm, wise book blends these stories. Armed with humor, candor, and an indomitable spirit, Jarvis opens a rare window into the interwoven world of medical technology and procedure, human vulnerability and strength, and the spiritual issues that converge in the experience of living through illness and living through life.
