Is love the ultimate medicine?
When Bruce Miller's business collapses on the same day his wife collapses in his arms, the grim timing gets his attention.

He faces four mortgages and no income. Far worse, his wife Karen is diagnosed with metastatic brain cancer with seven months to live-and her dream career starts in four days. Together, Bruce and Karen go down every rabbit hole-quacks, mystics, folk healers, and oncologists. Ultimately, their buoyant refusal to be defined by cancer turns a grim prognosis into a vibrant next chapter of life and a renewal of their marriage..

"There's no step-by-step for letting your heart crack open," Bruce learns. "You gotta take the plunge."

Karen adds, "I discovered how what was going on in my body was not more powerful than the healing energies available to me."

Illness as Love Affair follows the couple from their consciousness-seeking twenties until death do they part-a poignant and comedic counterpoint to Susan Sontag's Illness as Metaphor.

More than a mystical memoir on marriage, Bruce and Karen explore the deep mysteries of faith, fate, and becoming whole. Bruce is the author of six books, a screenwriter, brand strategist, and a key player in bringing the work of the mystical poet Rumi to America.
"Heartfelt, comedic, irreverent, spiritual,"Heartfelt, comedic, irreverent, spiritual, and as deep as it gets... It is a treasure."~ Carol Elizabeth Cox, authorLearning to Live with my Disembodied Husband
