What Does It Feel Like?

Kinsella (The Burnout) offers a heartbreaking and deeply personal book about a woman navigating a new life after being diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Eve is a bestselling novelist with five beautiful children, a doting husband, and a book that’s slated to become a Hollywood blockbuster. She has all the luck in the world—that is, until she wakes up in a hospital bed with no memory of how she got there. She is told she has just undergone surgery, during which doctors removed a large tumor from her brain. She’ll need to relearn how to walk, regain her balance, and try to stay calm in the face of the unknowable. Her faithful husband never leaves her side as she struggles to come to terms with her cancer diagnosis and what that means for her and her family. The book is radiantly narrated by Sally Phillips, who infuses emotion, heartbreak, and hope into every syllable. Kinsella narrates the afterword, explaining that the story mirrors her own experience battling glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
