Medallion Honoree Better off Bald is devastating and heartbreaking, inspiring and edifying. Most importantly, its real. Its a beautifully written, insightful, page-turning book on how we connect as humans and why life--no matter how truncated--is worth living. I highly recommend this to all people who glide through life not considering the end, but also for those looking for hope as unrealistic as it may seem at times. Pacific Book Review Andrea Wilson Woods memoir of her sister is complex and emotional, raw and honest. Better Off Bald tells a captivating story that will have a long-lasting impact on any reader. Indies Today This was a beautiful and poignant story, one that had me on the verge of tears from the moment I started reading. Andrea and Adrienne had such a special connection that became even more solid as they spent more time together. Adrienne showed strength and determination that I dont think many of us have. Her zest for life, her sassy yet endearing personality, and her simple needs made her a standout person. I truly believe that Andrea was able to learn so much from her 190 DAYS -old sister who lived her life the way she wanted to and wasnt apologetic about it. This is an emotional read, one that told me a brilliant story while making me feel like a part of it. Kudos to the author! Readers Favorite Even though Better Off Bald has a somber ending--as some cancer stories inevitably do--there is a powerful message about both living and dying with dignity. For readers who are personally facing cancer--in themselves or a loved one--this book will surely serve as a tremendous resource, for both its technical aspects and the complex emotional picture it paints. For all other people, it is definitely still worth the read. Its lessons about living life to its fullest, cherishing loved ones, and not giving up are invaluable. Many Books An incredible, wonderful, raw and true story of two sisters, one of whom is diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or liver cancer when she is a teenager and the other is an adult who is at the crossroads in her life and who is now acting as her mother, friend, and guide. A tragic tearjerker that in the end leads to the death of the younger sister diagnosed with cancer. The International Review of Books The [book] places a poignant emphasis on the importance of each fleeting moment. Adriennes voice is one of powerful, teenage defiance. This memoir/biography is deeply sad with inspirational flashes. Kirkus Better Off Bald: A Life in 147 Days is a phenomenal depiction of the shock, horror, realities, and the humanity of a cancer diagnosis and battle. The authors depiction of her sisters battle with liver cancer is both heart-wrenching and warming. Andrea is as brave as her sister, Adrienne, for sharing their story with such honesty and for her tireless devotion to helping liver cancer patients. Grab a tissue ... --Heather Ambrose, Director of Acute Care Field Medical and Patient Advocacy, BTG International, Inc., Mom of Gavin Ambrose, Stage IV Brain Cancer Survivor I just finished the book [Better Off Bald]. The author Andrea is the bravest person I know. Her book needs to be read by every healthcare professional.
