Produktbeschreibung

There's nothing quite like a cancer diagnosis during a global pandemic to make you realise what matters.

Seven years after emerging from a deep depression, Sue Tredget faces another health crisis. Only this time it's different. When she was depressed, she didn't want to be alive. When she finds out she has cancer, life seems like the most beautiful gift.

Armed with her sparkling sense of humour and fighting spirit, Sue decides to write her way through this very personal battle. She has no idea how her story will end but is determined that cancer will not define her, nor steal her joy.

As she embarks on a gruelling treatment regime, while grappling with lockdowns and the pain of separation from loved ones, Sue resolves to nourish her spirit and take one day at a time. She draws strength from the love of friends and family, adopts the mantra just keep walking and immerses herself in the coastal landscapes of Western Australia, marvelling at the healing power of nature.

Sue's ability to see humour in the most challenging circumstances and find wonder when she least expects it is an inspiration to us all. With its beguiling interplay between darkness and light, laughter and tears, and everything in between, Days Like These is a joyous celebration of life and an uplifting testament to the power of the human spirit.

This candid and compelling memoir offers hope and solace to anyone going through tough times, and reminds us to cherish every moment.

Autorenporträt

Sue Tredget grew up in Northern Ireland and studied Modern Languages at Leeds University. She lived and worked in France, Spain and England before moving to Perth, Western Australia in 1999. In 2014, Sue took a break from teaching to write and travel following a difficult period. She stayed at a retreat in India, travelled solo around Italy and walked part of the Camino de Santiago, among other adventures. After a year of healing and self-discovery she returned to education on a more flexible basis and became a Beyond Blue speaker to share her experience with depression and anxiety and help raise awareness around mental health. Sue continues to teach French and Spanish part-time and writes whenever she can. She has two grown-up children and lives near the ocean with her cycling crazy husband and her cavoodle.
