Sinopsis

First Published in 2017. This volume is a totally candid account about the facts and feelings surrounding the diagnosis of and battle against lung cancer―a battle the author waged with every ounce of his being. It has an enlightening quality because he shares how he transformed his previous knowledge of family dynamics, coping strategies, and empowerment into wisdom. He shares his journey of taking the knowledge from the Before Cancer phase of his life, “and like an alchemist, converting one raw material―his life and his diagnosis and battle―into an element quite unlike the original. Robbery and Redemption: Cancer as Identity Theft is chock-full of wisdom that has been learned the old fashioned, visceral way―from lived experience and keen reflection. This personal, upfront, “rubber-hit-the-road” treatise is a gift from the author to each reader. It is his wise interpretation of his own experiences of integrating values, problem solving, and coping strategies.

De la contraportada

IN PRAISE OF "Robbery and Redemption is one of the most human and riveting books I have ever read. I simply could not put it down. It was personal, well-written, and both sobering and uplifting. I would recommend it as a heartfelt, honest, and compassionate account, much like The Last Lecture." —Dr. Bert Hayslip, Jr., Department of Psychology, University of North Texas "Robbery and Redemption is an excellent resource for patients and families and may well repair some healthcare employees and physicians who seem clueless. There aren't many books out there with this level of honesty, comfort, resource information, and instruction." —Rev. Dr. Richard B. Gilbert, Executive Director, World Pastoral Care Center, Benedictine University of Illinois and Mercy College of New York "I laughed, I cried, and I learned. This book gives the reader a renewed perspective on the importance of family, friends, sunshine, snowfall, and all the flowers in our garden. Craig Fiedler obviously had a passion for adding to human happiness and I thank him for his gift." —Dr. Stuart Robertshaw, Professor Emeritus, University of Wisconsin–La Crosse "Few experiences in life evoke the same visceral response as contemplating the challenges of doing battle with cancer. To be sure, most of us would prefer to simply not think about this ever-present and formidable adversary. Perhaps Craig Fiedler had the same attitude—that is, until the day he received news that he had lung cancer. Robbery and Redemption made me both chuckle and cry, but most importantly, it made me feel empowered relative to the need to understand and courageously fight cancer." —Dr. Richard Simpson, Department of Special Education, University of Kansas
