Award winning author Laura Claridge was in the midst of writing the first critical biography of etiquette doyenne Emily Post when she started acted nonsensical, according to her family. To this day, Claridge has no firsthand memories of that nine month period in 2003, when, it turned out, her brain was indeed going crazy, due to a rare, devastating cancer. Laura Claridge turns the focus on herself as she weaves a journey of her modern, mixed family and her writing about Emily Post, into her battle against a life-threatening illness. From her Florida childhood chasing DDT trunks that sprayed magical, deadly twilight fog through her neighborhood, to her shocking misdiagnosis as a "typically menopausal" depressed woman - at turns dramatic, humorous, spellbinding, and beautiful but always truthful - Mind Over Manners presents an unforgettable, searing story.

Mind Over Cancer By Mszoop I found this to be a very interesting, informative story about the author's struggle with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma, a rare cancer that I knew nothing about. I loved her writing style and now will order her book on Emily Post, which she was working on during her illness. What I didn't love was the lack of a good proofreading. The most glaring error was calling David Bale, a fellow patient and Gloria Steinem's husband (and Christian Bale's father), David Slater. How was that not caught?

A Learning Experience By Fran Yariv As a cancer survivor , I always disliked the term "battle with cancer" but in Laura Claridge's account of her life-threatening illness and the devastating treatments she has undergone, the term is appropriate. And so far she is winning! One need not be a cancer victim to appreciate the many lessons she learned about herself, her family, and the meaning of life. Her resilience shines through. A beautifully written piece.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A Good Movie on Fast Forward By JAScribbles Laura Claridge's book is very thought provoking and interesting. I found this brief memoir deeply personal.I'm not one to give the comment, "I wish this were a novel" after every short story I read. I personally enjoy novellas and read quite a few of them. In this case, part of me wished this story were longer and loaded with detail.The descriptions and flashbacks are wonderful but brief. At times I felt teased or was mad that Claridge glossed over a point or tidbit. I liken it to watching a very interesting movie on fast forward. Elements of her blended family, son with Epilepsy, work life, and the way she managed recovery, etc... They were all skipped over too quickly.Another key component of this story is the technical and medical jargon involving her brain cancer. Once again I felt as if things were going too fast. As if I were sitting in a college class and listening to the professor merely reading the highlights of his course outline.I wanted more.So why a four star rating? By giving the reader small bits of info I feel I was better able to place myself in her shoes. More than once I stopped to think - what if that were me? How would my husband react? Could my family cope? Could I cope?On the one hand I wanted more. I wanted Laura Claridge to fill in all of the pieces of the puzzle for me. Her writing style is enjoyable and there is so much material available for a full length piece. On the other hand I am glad she left things open and somewhat vague. Instead of the story being only about her, I was able to place myself in her shoes.I received this book as a free Review Copy from the author or publisher.
