An Imperfect Life

by Gayle Madden

An Imperfect Life is a powerful memoir that will forever change the way you think about life. Gayle Madden takes you on exhilarating journeys--bicycling and hiking through Switzerland, New Zealand, Ireland, and high into the wilderness of the Trinity Alps. Her insights reveal a life of joy and sorrow, strength and weakness, and ultimately, self-discovery. Gayle feels her life of adventure is perfect, and when this perfect life cracks, she shares her anguish and hopelessness. Through many setbacks and triumphs, her management of the diagnosis and treatment for pancreatic cancer shows who she really is--who we all are--deep inside. This is a testimony that life is good. This is a book of miracles. If you read no other book this year, you must read this one.
