Welcome to the Bright: The Winding Path from Survivor to Thrivor by Lisa Febre
“Febre’s writing is at its most lyrical, starting off quietly and gently, then swelling to a crescendo of awe before calming to a resolute whisper of self-affirmation. Welcome to the Bright is a celebration not only of the life we’ve lived but of the living we have yet to do.” –Troy Hollan, award-winning author of Clucked
CLBC- Multi-Genres Book Review:
Welcome to the Bright by Lisa Febre is an unflinching and emotive memoir that takes readers on a journey through life with cancer. The vulnerability displayed throughout the pages is inspiring, offering profound insight into the highs and lows of Febre’s treatment. Rather than succumbing to fear and hopelessness, we encounter a triumphant spirit that rises above the bleakest times.
The message throughout this memoir is uplifting and refreshing; life is a gift. This important reminder is much needed today when it is easy to feel despondent about the world. Febre’s thought-provoking book makes the reader appreciate the wonder and beauty of creation. Even the simple act of waking up and opening our eyes every morning is a blessing. Likewise, the quiet beauty of the human body is often forgotten. Febre’s wonderful writing renews your appreciation for the strength of the mind, body and soul. The celebration of life is also acknowledged through relationships formed. Strength comes in numbers, as shown by the support network surrounding Febre in her darkest hour. It is encouraging to know that we are never truly alone.
Welcome to the Bright delves into the mind of a cancer survivor, revealing with full transparency and sobering honesty. This refreshing perspective helps remove the stigma of ‘The Big C’. The heaviness of the subject is punctuated with humor, which helps to make this account feel cathartic for Febre and readers alike.
The theme running through the book is hindsight. It feels like Febre takes you by the hand and brings you with her on the journey. In retrospect, viewpoints become completely different. This memoir will inspire you to overcome fear and despair with renewed hopefulness and a full appreciation of the sanctity of life.
Welcome to the Bright: The Winding Path from Survivor to Thrivor by Lisa Febre is a deeply moving and inspirational must-read memoir and is recommended by Chick Lit Book Café -Multi-Genre Literary Reviews. Book read and reviewed by Rachael Finch for CLBC.
