Her Own Story
A few months ago I noted the stories being written by
San Francisco Chronicle copy editor
Alicia Parlette,
who discovered last year that she had a cancerous tumor spreading from
her right hip. Through many difficult times she has continued writing
"Alicia's Story," and it's worth reading if you haven't already (she's
turning the first seven chapters into a book). Notice how Parlette
compresses her most moving material into short, powerful sentences.
Our prayers are with you Alicia -- please keep writing.
