Book Synopsis
I Never Rang the Bell is a sincere and compelling memoir from Andrea Leigh Ritcey, who, at the age of fifty-one, had it all - a career, a loving family, and a beautiful home. And yet, her nagging, persistent inner voice led her to the staggering diagnosis of endometrial cancer. In a powerful, raw and inspirational tell-all of her "annus horribilis," Ritcey details her sudden and unthinkable journey as her life inevitably turns upside down. Leading us from the very beginning (day zero) she pushes through pivotal moments of extreme adversity while demonstrating unyielding courage, true grit, unflinching honesty, and at times, ridiculous hilarity. She exemplifies the vast magnitude of the human spirit as her story is one of incredible perseverance, sheer determination, and the full aftermath that her illness ensues. Backed by a strong and supportive partner in a real-life love story, her stirring memoir elicits heart-warming feelings as her journey takes many, memorable turns. Whether you're facing a cancer diagnosis or simply in need of some uplifting, this encouraging true-story just might be exactly what you're looking for.
