Customer Reviews

Inspirational and heart wrenching

I was the Managing Editor of this book and it had me in tears as I worked on it. The stories are so compelling and the writing so superb that it just draws you in. The people and their families are YOUR family and friends and neighbors--I felt like I knew them. I usually try not to get too emotionally involved with the books I work on, but it was impossible not to with THREE ON THE EDGE.

I enjoyed this book very much - interesting & compelling

My sister has breast cancer and a co-worker's brother is HIV-positive. We dove into this book and kept underlining passages that are of help. My summary: Very compelling reading; you, the layperson, really learn about medicine that seemed intimidating and confusing before - this can help the person you love make choices.
