About When Life Gives You Lemons
Product Description A unique memoir by a cancer survivor about pain, hope and enormous female strength. The life of Ronit, a thirty-seven-year-old woman, married and the mother of two, is thrown into turmoil when she receives the bitter news that she has breast cancer. This announcement launches Ronit into the hardest physical and emotional journey she has ever known. This book is the diary of Ronit’s journey. It describes with touching honesty, humor, and a rich language teeming with surprising metaphors, her experiences from the moment she was diagnosed with cancer until her complete recovery. She provides a rare glimpse to the initial shock, anger, and feeling of loneliness, the preparation for hair loss, her tenacity in dealing with exhausting treatments and their side effects, surgery, and losing the marks of her femininity, while she struggles to preserve the family framework and protect her young children. When Life Gives You Lemons is a moving memoir about family and motherhood, daring friendships and a woman who raises her head each time anew, while gradually parting with her hair. Despite the difficulties, with each falling strand, she discovers in herself new strength and a power she had never known before. Review 1. The strongest feeling that was always with me while I had cancer was loneliness. No matter how many friends or family members were by my side--I knew that none of them was aware of what exactly I was going through. I read Ronit's book When Life Gives You Lemons towards the end of my treatments. I read it avidly. The book describes with great accuracy what I had been through, as though someone had taken the thread of my thoughts and emotions and wrapped it all up in a book. I identified, laughed, cried, and most of all--my sense of loneliness disappeared. I knew I was not alone. The voyage of recovery from cancer is long and arduous. What joy to be able to walk through it along with When Life Gives You Lemons. Avigail Amit Sefi 2. I was diagnosed as a cancer patient at a young age (36), the mother of six children. I looked everywhere on the internet for some sort of guidebook that would help me understand what I was about to go through, but all I found was a lot of medical information that stressed me out. I came across Ronit and her book When Life Gives You Lemons by chance, and I bless the moment. This compelling book described the various stages I had experienced, and it felt like being in the company of a friend .Regarding the stages I had not yet reached in the treatment but had read about in the book, I got a sense of security that, at long last, I knew what I was about to face. I felt this book was like a guide that granted me the serenity I was searching for. I definitely will go back to it and hope Ronit picks up the gauntlet and continues to write. Meirav Sanker 3. When Life Gives You Lemons is a book any woman affected by cancer will embrace and hold close to her heart. There is a sense of identification with so many events I and other woman went through and, unfortunately, will still go through. I must note that I don't read many books but this book, I read eagerly. I was with Ronit all the way. In short, "she did it", as they say in our neighborhood. Her writing is charming, real, painful, direct, funny. Thanks to this book I feel I know her and her family a little, and this revelation required immense courage. All this due to her great desire to help other women who enter this hell. Hats off to Ronit. Sarit Silverman From the Author From the moment I was diagnosed with cancer, I wrote about coping with the illness. Through words, I processed the hardships my body and heart were suffering. The idea of publishing a book stemmed from the desire to help women who were in the same situation, to let them know they were not alone, so they could have a book that accompanies them during the battle for their lives. While I was undergoing treatment, I received numerous leafl
