The Third Monkey on the Ramp: A True Story of Laughter, Loss, and the Strongest Woman Cancer Ever Met

By Carrie Johnson

The Third Monkey on the Ramp
A True Story of Laughter, Loss, and the Strongest Grandma Cancer Ever Met

What do you do when life keeps knocking you down and you still find the strength to stand?

She had already survived more than most. The tragic loss of her mother. A devastating accident that took her nephew. Then her father. Then her daughter.

When her only daughter died suddenly, she stepped in to raise her two young grandchildren, becoming both their grandmother and their guardian overnight.

And then came the cancer diagnosis.

This is the true story of a woman who faced a terminal illness not with fear, but with ferocity, wit, and a fierce love for her family. From chemo chairs to kitchen tables, from hard conversations to hilarious memories, The Third Monkey on the Ramp captures the final five years of a woman who refused to go quietly.

Told through the eyes of a cousin, friend, and witness to her journey, this bittersweet memoir is a tribute to strength, sarcasm, and the kind of love that doesn't stop, even when the body does.

If you've ever loved someone through a hard goodbye, this book will stay with you long after the last page.
