Living in Legacy: ovarian cancer from cell to soul

A memoir that is both raw and refined, Living in Legacy brutally and beautifully chronicles the most physically and emotionally debilitating and inspiring moments of a vibrant life wholly upended by a medical lightning strike. With the intimacy of a diary, from onset through aftermath, Alexia Monaco lays bare the physicality of her life-threatening diagnosis, wrecking ball treatments, survivorship terrors, and relentless pursuit of peace. Exploring the ovarian cancer cells that define her as a victim and the soul that defines her as a hero, Monaco loses and finds herself, stumbling wildly on her path to enlightenment.
