Description

A New Kind of Normal by Alison Keenan is a candid and introspective account of the author's life, from her childhood in the 1960s to her diagnosis with breast cancer in 2011. This memoir takes an unflinching look at the challenges she faced, including two divorces, a career in TV and radio, and the struggles that followed her cancer treatment. Keenan shares her experiences with honesty and humour, revealing the ways in which she coped with the loss of her hair, fingernails, and sense of identity. By bringing the disease into the everyday world, rather than confining it to medical settings, Keenan offers a unique perspective on this often-overlooked aspect of life. Through her story, Keenan sheds light on the complexities of identity and the ways in which we find ourselves again after loss. This is a thought-provoking and relatable book that will appeal to anyone interested in memoirs and personal stories.
