Bone Marrow Boogie is more than a beautifully written cancer memoir. It is a survivor's tale that charges us with the responsibility to hold onto our spiritual awakenings as we return to our ordinary lives. Witty, poignant, even funny at times, there is a message here for everyone who has been on or is planning to take a life-changing pilgrimage." |
Bone Marrow Boogie is so much more than a book about cancer: it's about love and family, courage and fear, joy and despair, and underneath it all a choice to maintain an indomitably positive spirit towards life. It is a book to be read by all who want to experience life at its fullest." |

"What makes Janie Starr's book so inspiring, finally, isn't her triumph over cancer, remarkable though that is. It's her belief -- no matter what -- in the ultimate goodness of people. Truthfully written, warmly intimate and personal, Bone Marrow Boogie is the best kind of book: a story that connects us, one human being to another." |
