| Publisher Description: When Alice Mpofu-Coles, a former Zimbabwean diplomat, was diagnosed with breast cancer, the news came as a blow. Having experienced the deaths of her parents, four brothers, and husband in the twelve years prior to diagnosis, left alone to battle her illness while caring for two small daughters, she turned to God. Many might react with surprise at the thought that someone would be grateful for a cancer diagnosis. But within the pages of Dear God From Your Poached Egg Breast, Alice Mpofu-Coles triumphs over her hardship. Living in the UK as a refugee, answers were difficult to find, so she turned to herself and found strength she never knew she had--strength to live, strength to love, and strength to survive. Intimate and organic, her story illustrates one woman's battle to understand why cancer chose her and how she coped while caring for her children and even furthering her education. Infused with African innuendos and humour, her conversations with God will make readers laugh, cry, and face their own mortality with grace. |
