Publisher Description One womans powerful story of how her mothers death saved her life.When Josepha Dietrich was 21, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Four years after her mothers death, the disease reared up in Josies own cells, this time more aggressively. She was 35, and her high-needs baby son was not yet one. As the daughter of a woman who had sought out alternatives to conventional medicine, Josie used her own knowledge and her mothers experience to find solutions for herself. Later she also used this experience to help her son rise up out of his profoundly autistic state.In Danger is Josies journey through life with breast cancer from inside the experience, capturing her energy and force-of-nature personality. She reflects on the literary works that inspired her, from cancer literature to other medical memoirs, works that helped her to explore disease and the human condition, and shed light on its darker aspects.At its heart, this moving memoir delves deep into how it feels when everything you love is in danger. Author Biography Josepha (Josie) Dietrich is an English emigrant to Australia. She lives in Brisbane in the home that she and her partner built on passive-house principles. After coming out of a long reign of being a carer, shes worked as a research assistant for universities on projects to improve psychiatric discharge planning and womens wellness after cancer. Her prior long-term work was in the After Hours Child Protection Unit, assessing childrens risk of harm alongside the Sexual Offences Child Abuse Unit of Victoria Police. To remain sane during this period, she flitted off overseas for months at a time to climb cliff faces while sleeping on beaches or in abandoned shepherds huts. After her cancer treatments finished and in light of her experience caring for her dying mother, Josie joined the advisory committee of CanSpeak Queensland as a cancer and consumer advocate.
