Kelley Skoloda was the healthiest person she knew—until the day she became a cancer patient. During her first, routine colonoscopy—without having experienced any symptoms—Kelley received a shocking diagnosis: colon cancer. Based on the true story of her subsequent cancer journey, A Way Back to Health reveals how surprising lessons paved the way for her recovery, shares helpful action steps for those who find themselves in a similar situation, and illuminates how personal stories can powerfully motivate and heal. In addition to telling her own story, Kelley also features examples of how other, amazing survivors have learned to manage, survive and thrive in the face of cancer. She also explores how often overlooked actions, such as trusting your instincts, speaking up, getting a second opinion, and watching for miracles, can have a profound impact on recovery—lessons meant to help patients advocate for themselves and help friends, family, and caregivers as they wrestle with cancer and its treatment. Much more prevalent than COVID-19, cancer will affect one in three people directly, and many more indirectly, in their lifetime. A Way Back to Health, with its real-life stories and unexpected lessons, is a helpful and relatable guide to the most important information you need to know about cancer—for the time you need it most.

Mis-Mother: Truths About Motherhood Your Mom Never Revealed is a story of survivorship, love, and imperfect mothering spanning 150 years in one crazy family. Our culture both adulates and irrationally blames mothers, obscuring much of the real maternal experience. This secrecy often leads women and men thunderstruck in early parenthood. Intending to do it "better" than our own parents, we find ourselves reliving and re-enacting the experiences of previous generations. Epigenetic research indicates historical trauma, mental illness, addiction, and peculiar coping styles are passed down through both nurture and nature. This was my personal experience as a mother when I suddenly understood why my Irish great-great grandmother was referred to as "Mad Mary." With humor, honesty, and historical references, I share my journey and that of my maternal ancestors from wounded soldiers to devoted warriors. With universal appeal, everyone will recognize elements of their own story in this powerful and poignant memoir. Book Review: "This is such a poignant story - a rich story of your mother and foremothers. It wasn’t really that long ago that women were heavily medicated with Valium, Librium and narcotics. I am especially struck by your determination to have a pregnancy and postpartum different from your ancestral mothers. Your appropriate anger is evident. I am in awe of your courage to drive yourself to the hospital ER and honestly tell the staff what could happen without their help. Your story will surely help many women know they didn’t cause their circumstances and understand how much they need appropriate care. It will help remove the stigma that so often accompanies this diagnosis. And I am in awe of the love and support your husband provided. Many blessings to you for your gift to families." -- Ann Keppler, RN, MN, co-author of Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn; The Complete Guide
