"I found myself sitting in an apartment above a funeral home, in a car circling a desolate Native American reservation, in the cramped workroom of a guitar repair shop. I orchestrated these and other meetings with twenty-five strangers around the United States. When I arrived, we knew little about each other except that we both had cancer. We talked for hours, revealing the chaos and silver linings that are particular to facing cancer in your twenties and thirties. Throughout the large uncertainties of my illness, these candid conversations and nuggets of practical advice are what best keep me company."
