In-Between Days: A Memoir About Living with Cancer Paperback – March 14, 2017

The format is simple: an illustration on one page followed by carefully chosen text on the other. She lays her feelings bare for the world to see and understand: the loneliness of cancer; the well-meaning friends; the agony of treatments and the sorrow of living with an incurable disease. If you're looking for a "pink-washing just stay positive" book, you will be disappointed. But Teva's message isn't all doom and gloom. I admire her ability to stay relatively positive in the face of her disease, but I appreciate her fears and doubts just as much.I have Stage 4 kidney cancer and have been a graphic designer my whole career before retiring. I am also a budding writer, so it was with great interest that I read her book. Her illustrations are at once stark, funny and brutal but always honest, telling a visual story that words sometimes cannot. I feel as if I know Teva, her loving husband and family, and I wish for her to have a long ad happy life with them. Professionally speaking, she has turned out a work she can be very proud of.I would recommend this book to all cancer patients, their friends and caretakers. I have a friend who has already borrowed my copy! I know that I will be returning to the this book many times to read random passages on days when I need it. Thank you, Teva!

This book is wonderful. As someone with a stage 4 cancer, I found it very helpful. The book made me feel less lonely. My husband found this book helpful as well. I have recommended it to multiple people.

This book is part anecdotal memoir, part graphic novel. The author, Teva Harrison, shares through her words and her images what it's like to have Stage 4 cancer. Her writing is vulnerable and honest. She doesn't sugar coat things. She shares her fears and grief as well as her joy. I think it would be an excellent read for someone who is fighting the fight against cancer.

I have a different cancer. A different life but my experience with it rings true to Teva’s. She writes honestly. Draws from her heart.

This book was sold to me as being brand new. After reading a few pages, I noticed a sticker that says "used, very good" on the back. The only neat thing is it is signed by the author, unless it's forged.

Incredible, moving collection of essays alongside illustrations. Really helps articulate the emotional complexity of living with a chronic illness.

I really liked Teva Harrison's memoir! It's interesting to hear her account of being a cancer patient and all that entails. I almost felt like I could have wrote portions of her book because of the familiarity of what she went through. I totally admire her honesty coupled with humor as she depicted her battle with cancer and treatment. I think writing this book must have been therapeutic; I hope that she is able to keep writing and drawing! I would love to read more by Teva!

Teva writes and draws her life as a young woman with metastatic breast cancer. This is a work of art and it is a raw, funny, honest, and hopeful memoir by a woman who loves life.

I've read through "In-Between Days" three times now, and it has really affected me. What is striking about this graphic novel about living with incurable cancer is its resilience and hopefulness. In comics that are often very funny (in "Some People Get Lucky" she has an anvil fall on her, like Wile E. Coyote) while heartbreaking, Teva explores the absurdities of her new reality. Meanwhile, she is actively, passionately savoring the precious time she has left, and the joys of being alive: enjoying the natural world, family, to love and be loved, to garden, to make art. These are great messages for any reader, but for cancer patients, her frankly personal stories of sudden menopause after surgery, sexual difficulties, chronic exhaustion and grief are stories that, by being shared, will help others. I found this book to be a moving and profound work of art..

A heart felt, and heart breaking account of the struggle of a beautiful soul's experience with metastatic breast cancer.

Touching and moving, and at the same time very light. I really saw into this dark place.

I loved this graphic memoir. Moving and beautifully crafted. Harrison is sensitive and powerful. I'm amazed at her extraordinary lack ofrage. I connected as a woman and as a breast cancer survivor; however, this book is relevant to all simply as a work of art. I hope she is at work on her next book!

Reading Teva's book was so honest and real. I found comfort, as this has been my only experience of someone speaking my language and who just gets it. I am a single Mum diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer June 2013. This book is a must read for those in this situation and the people who love and support us.
