"Tom Brokaw had led a lucky life--marrying his childhood sweetheart ... rising to fame in the journalism world on the Today Show and as the NBC Nightly News anchor for 22 years, publishing the ... book The Greatest Generation--when suddenly he took two inexplicable falls. Nagging back pain led him to the doctors at Mayo, who had shocking news: he had multiple myeloma, the treatable but incurable blood cancer. Brokaw leads the readers through his decision to keep a journal of experiences, during a year of denial, acceptance, struggle, and his courageous battle to get the cancer under control and to go on with his life"--
