Me the Crazy Woman and Breast Cancer

Stacy D Shelton

Summary

Award-winning authors, cancer patients, survivors and medical professionals, are all singing the praises of Me, the Crazy Woman and Breast Cancer and Stacy Shelton. 
Named Oklahoma's Best Author for her book Me, the Crazy Woman, and Breast Cancer, multi-award-winning former broadcast and print journalist Stacy Shelton, chronicles not one, but two diagnoses of breast cancer. Once diagnosed, Shelton found a new presence, which she dubbed "Crazy Woman," had taken up residence in her brain, wreaking havoc and forcing her to face her own mortality. As she learned to navigate the once foreign world of cancer, she realized that during the subsequent seven surgeries, including a bilateral mastectomy, several of her medical issues were falling through the cracks, leaving her even more vulnerable than she already was. Using her talents as a writer, she took the opportunity to bring to life this heroic, poignant, and enlightening work, to help others going through any life-altering journey. 
Me, the Crazy Woman, and Breast Cancer, provides a roadmap to an almost impossible journey, and gives the patient, survivor, family member, and loved one, a window into the psyche of someone facing a life-threating illness. It is a timeless, and hauntingly moving memoir that will leave you knowing all of life's lessons are to be cherished.

"Astonishing...Her story is a personal journey of courage, true love, and profound hope. It offers the same for others fighting cancer, or for those who love someone with the disease." –Svetlana Kim, Best-Selling Author, “White Pearl and I”

Bastards

Sheila Steafel

When I read through the final draft of my autobiography, I decided to take out several anecdotes about my personal life, simply because they seemed a sort of indulgence, and didn’t add to what I wanted to say about my life and my career. They were hiccups along the way with some attacks worse than others, but all were finally ‘got rid’ (as my cousin Lillian used to say). I put them in a file which I called BASTARDS for my own amusement, and thought no more about them until my book came out and I was being asked what my next writing project would be. For want of anything else to say I would reply BASTARDS, and the response was so positive that what had started as a whim began to take on substance. So here it is. Since you ask (and you will) the bastards were all my own. Some were short, as are some of the tales, and some tall, which, in spite of your incredulity, none of the tales are. Well, I've said it before and I’ll say it again, I couldn’t make them up! Could I?

The Heartless Murder of Nettie...

Dr. Robert V.V. Hurst

Born in Lithuania in 1885 under the rule of Russian Tsars, Nettie was ever aware of the injustice levied on her Jewish people. Rules limited their freedom reducing their status to that of second-class citizens. Additionally, Nettie challenged her own religion’s system of excluding girls from Talmud instruction, which the male-dominated Jewish society deemed to be the exclusive right of men. Nettie fled to America with Russian Cossacks hot on her trail for a murder that occurred during a pogrom while she was defending her husband. In America, she found opportunity but not without its perils. She took advantage of America’s freedoms and became educated, continuing to navigate the male dominated society with her resolve to live the American Dream. Nettie’s natural sexuality and intelligence attracted five husbands and produced six children, who in turn contributed twelve grandchildren. This was her legacy to America. Her life’s story unfolded as her adopted country fought two wars, saw the start of the union movement, the Ku Klux Klan, and segregation, and adjusted to an immigrant crisis. Tragically, Nettie ---a young widow ---lost her life at age 37 at the hands of the son of a man whose romantic interest she had rejected years before in the old country. Envious of her newfound wealth, he was determined to claim it as his own. He sent his son, 13 years younger than Nettie, to court her, then marry her. Evil occult forces seemed to follow Nettie’s every move after her third marriage, only ending with her death after the fifth. The sensational trial of her last husband for her violent murder was followed in newspapers across the country. Her life in America played out against a backdrop of the Roaring Twenties, Prohibition, bootleg liquor, ragtime music, and speakeasies. Nettie became in her mind, and in reality, a true American. She did her best to raise her children and instill in them her passion for justice and freedom.
