When a rare cancer diagnosis upends her life, Kate Bowler is forced to confront the illusion of control. Grieving the future she thought she had, she reflects on the ways we try—and fail—to "fix" ourselves and our circumstances. With wry humor and hard-won wisdom, she discovers that there is no cure for being human.
