Product Description
When a diagnosis of breast cancer upended her life in her early 40's, Deborah Hampton found herself confronted not only with medical and treatment issues, but larger issues about what it means to be a woman, to be fully alive, and to make sense of suffering and adversity. The persistence of her breast cancer over a decade has forced her to forge a relationship with her disease and to create a life that includes the presence of cancer as a partner. Her honesty, courage, and humor in this journey provide one woman's map into enemy territory and a guide to befriending an adversary.

A personal story of Courage and Struggle May 14, 2009
Just McGov (Georgia)
Sometimes we think we we have been though a lot ....then we read a story like this. It is written from the heart. An honest, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always interesting. Know someone who has had cancer or is going through cancer? Read this book and know 13yrs later Debbi is very much involved with her healthcare!

This book was an incredible journey where you felt like you were right there with the author. I am usually not a poetry reader, but the prose that accompanies the chapters is amazing and perfect for each step of her journey through breast cancer.
I would recommend this book to anyone! Get the Kleenex ready.

I tend to avoid books that I think may be "depressing." However, once I started reading this book, it seemed everything but that. Deborah's story is so riveting, it's hard to put "Slapped Awake" down. I was immediately drawn into her story, laughing at her sassy, irreverent humor, and deeply touched by her insights as she describes the realities of breast cancer. Even though she unsparingly details the journey of someone dealing with a terrible illness, the book never becomes maudlin or tragic. Instead, I felt uplifted by her spirited story--and by what it means to live deeply and richly even under the most challenging of circumstances. My husband read and loved this book, too. This is the kind of book you'll want to share with everyone you know.

I very much enjoyed reading Debbi's book. She has shared her journey through her recurrence of breast cancer and how she has lived her life to the fullest and not allowed this disease to control her life. I think this is a must read for anyone who has had breast cancer. She makes the thought of recurrence not so scary.

A waltz of love and death danced to the music of poetry and prose in the ballroom of single heart.
