“Very good and very well written! At first I was a little nervous about reading it, it is a little gross, but the end was so amazing! and I loved the reference to her mother saying "when you grow up, write a book about someone who survives." If you check the front cover it is dedicated to her mother. All in all a very cool book that makes you realize just how lucky you are to be healthy. We can all learn a lesson in strength from Bee.”

“Kneeling on the wooden floor in the middle of the night, Bee Lavender opens a cabinet holding various collected artifacts of her life, trying to escape into the memories they evoke and to hold on to the "good life" they evidence. She stretches out on the dining room floor in order to hold back the intense pain and dread welling up within her. It is a deeply visceral scene that most anyone who's ever been seriously ill can identify with, a mental, emotional and physical dance between fear, suffering and denial. For most of us, our fears come to nothing or at least nothing close to the frantic speculations we torture ourselves with; for the publisher of the online edition of Hip Mama, such nightmares and worse, have repeatedly come true.
