Joy for Beginners by
Erica Bauermeister
I am on a quest to find a really good book to read. Joy for Beginners is not the great book I was
looking for but it was an interesting read.
Kate is diagnosed with cancer and finds herself on a grueling journey of
surgery and chemo therapy to rid her of this disease. Fortunately she has a great group of women,
her friends, who are there for her one way or another. Their energy and love see her through the
worst of times and when her doctor declares she is cancer free they rejoice by
having a dinner to celebrate.
At this dinner party she makes a deal with all of them. To celebrate her new lease on life she will
go white water rafting, something that has terrified her. But if she goes she tells them they must do
one thing that makes them uncomfortable or that they find challengingand
here is the kicker she gets to choose what each of them will do, So the author takes you on each of their
journeys and the women wonder how Kate new exactly what to choose for them. But Kate is a good listener and all the
conversations that she had with her friends during her illness gave her great
insight.
