Sommario/riassunto

"A diagnosed tumor forced Heather King to this crisis of mortality, to live at the crossroads of uncertainty, belief, fear, culture, and modern medicine ... Stripped is a heartfelt expression of profound Catholic faith in the face of a cancer diagnosis. It chronicles King's informed decision not to blindly declare 'war on her cancer' but to carefully examine the medical evidence available and to bring God into her decision making."--
