The Remnants of Summer

The Remnants of Summer
What turns do our lives take after cancer? Dawn Newton wrote a memoir about the lung cancer that dropped into her life so unexpectedly. It would take nine years for the next chapter in her life as a writer to unfold- novelist. Did coming through a time full of challenge affect the book, The Remnants of Summer? How does she believe facing cancer changed her? Writing a book of fiction that confronts loss and grief could well have been informed by her experience, by the potential loss of her very life. And just maybe, she became even more deeply committed to writing it! Join us to explore how she changed in the process and what she has to share about following her own path.
