The Red Devil is a bold, wickedly funny tale of illness, joy, and the improbable triumph of love in the midst of despair. When Katherine Russell Rich was thirty-two,a newly divorced, high powered magazine editor living a glamorous life in New York, her ten-year (and still counting) ordeal with cancer began. Soon she was bald,scrambled, and living in two worlds simultaneously: the world of the ill... and the 'normal world'. Alternately wise and wise-cracking, Rich serves up vignettes from the surreal world only the ill know. Here is a woman who has been brought to her knees by disease several times, only to get up and learn to fly.
