The Run of My Life: A Memoir of Healing

The Run of My Life is a compelling memoir about self-discovery, resilience, and the radical courage to let go. Rochelle Finzel followed the rules and aspired to be the best.

Four days later, she was diagnosed with stage IV cancer.
Facing a bleak prognosis, Rochelle reexamined her life. Facing continual reminders of her mortality but fiercely fighting for survival, she opened her heart, followed her gut, learned to listen to her body, and trusted its wisdom.
Honest and heartfelt, The Run of My Life pulls the reader into exam rooms and onto mountaintops, offering hope and inspiration for those enduring any kind of crisis, and for finding new life on the other side.
