Nevertheless, thanks to her faith, family, and the sheer strength of her will, today she is one of the vanishingly small number of Black women surgeons in America—and an unrelenting force in the fight for health justice.

This beautifully written biography charts the life of Dr. Cynthia J. MacKay, a wife, a mother, a surgeon, and a lifelong activist campaigning against the cruel, painful, damaging invasive corrective eye surgery LASIK. It is written with modesty. It is engaging, witty, and sometimes painful to listen to as it describes the discrimination, smear campaigns, and brutal conduct of her peers and others who have tried to ruin her in their own act of self-preservation. Cynthia battles through it all, with dignity, determination, and an abundance of wit, humor and humility.

Sie versucht den Hass auszublenden, Kritik abperlen zu lassen – doch irgendwann ist das nicht mehr möglich.

In the time it took for a left hook to be thrown, Ben disconnected from language and therefore the world. He wanted nothing more than to go back to normal life and, after a time, it looked like he had. Only normal life no longer felt normal. Ben's brain had changed, and so had he.

"Vier bis acht Wochen. Ihnen bleiben maximal acht Wochen." Katrin Höfer und ihre Mutter sitzen wie erstarrt da, als die Ärztin ihrer Mutter diese niederschmetternde Prognose verkündet. Aber dann nehmen Mutter und Tochter den Kampf auf - nicht gegen den Krebs, denn der lässt sich nicht mehr gewinnen. Sondern um acht letzte, gute gemeinsame Wochen. Von den Höhen und Tiefen, dem Glück und dem Leid in dieser aufwühlenden Zeit und dem Spagat zwischen Akzeptanz des nahenden Todes der geliebten Mutter und dem unbedingten Willen, auch im tiefsten Leid noch das Schöne zu entdecken.
