Author Talk: Alice Hardestywill

Portland author Alice Hardestywill present her new book, ” An Uncommon Cancer Journey: The Cosmic Kick That Healed Our Lives”. The book tells the story of Hardesty’s husband Jack’s extraordinary healing from esophageal cancer in the 1980s, despite two “terminal” diagnoses. After conventional medicine failed to provide a cure, Jack tried every alternative and complementary treatment he could, including nutrition, acupressure and other kinds of bodywork, vitamins and enzymes, spiritual healing, and intensive psychotherapy. Alice accompanied and supported him throughout this journey, and found that, along with the physical healing, came the healing of their marriage.
