SURVIVAL LESSONS
Book ID/图书代码： 00342513B61339
English Summary/英文概要： Fifteen years ago, Alice Hoffman was diagnosed with cancer. The ensuing ordeal was not only physically grueling, but changed how she felt inside, and what she thought she ought to be doing with her days.In this honest, wise, and upbeat guide, Alice Hoffman provides a road map to making one’s life the very best it can be. As she says, “In many ways I wrote this book to remind myself of the beauty of life, something that’s all too easy to overlook during the crisis of illness or loss. There were many times when I forgot about roses and starry nights. I forgot that our lives are made up of equal parts sorrow and joy, and that it’s impossible to have one without the other. . . . I wrote to remind myself that in the darkest hour the roses still bloom, the stars still come out at night. And to remind myself that, despite everything that was happening to me, there were still choices I could make.”
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 15年前，爱丽丝•霍夫曼被诊患有癌症，随之而来的一系列磨难不仅给她带来了生理上的巨大考验，还彻底改变了她的内心想法，改变了她在人生仅剩时光中的计划。
在这本真诚、睿智且积极向上的指南中，爱丽丝•霍夫曼为我们呈现出了一幅人生的地图，指引着我们，通向我们最好的人生。正如她本人所说：“多年后的今天，我写下这本书，更多的是为了提醒自己不忘生活的美好，因为在疾病侵袭和面临失去之时，生活本身的美好是最容易被我们所忽视的。有太多的时候，我会一时间遗忘玫瑰的芬芳和繁星满布的夜空。我遗忘了我们的生命是由等量的悲伤和喜悦构成的，谁也无法仅仅拥有其中的一部分。。。。。。我创作本书是为了警示自己：即便在最黑暗的时刻，玫瑰依然绽放，星辰依然升空；即便面前困难重重，我依然拥有选择的机会。”（DC）
Awards/获奖情况：Just received this little book today and from the moment I opened it at the very first sentence, I was hooked. Alice Hoffman is a best selling novelist but she is also a cancer survivor and this little gem is her story. She writes exactly what’s in my heart...it’s like we’re joined at the waist, even in her admiration of Anne Frank. If you’ve walked "through the fire’ and survived, this little book is for you.
