Mammograms & Mastectomies is an easy-to-read story filled with practical information and insight into the personal and professional implications of breast cancer. Susan Farrell skillfully combines humor and advice as she covers the challenges of dealing with doctors, learning the language of cancer diagnosis and treatment, formulating the right questions and researching surgical options. She goes on to discuss how to tell the children, managing the news at work and the struggle to resume a normal life. On a deeper level, she offers valuable insights into the personal and professional traumas and triumphs that accompany this all too common health problem. An estimated 192,000 new cases are diagnosed every year in the U.S. alone (American Cancer Society) and breast cancer will affect one in eight women in their lifetimes. From overwhelming anxiety to the determination to heal and thrive in the wake of a mastectomy, this book serves as a welcome companion to those whose lives are suddenly interrupted by disease. Mammograms & Mastectomies is the story of a Type-A, career woman who had successfully managed husband, children and promotions on two continents - until it all came crashing down around her with the news that she had breast cancer. It is a triumph of humor over adversity; a tale of spiritual re-awakening. It is an acceptance that destiny will follow its own path, coupled with the conviction that one can, nonetheless, influence the outcome. It is told by a woman thankful that cancer invaded her existence so that she might be re-born.

War has often been seen as the domain of men and thus irrelevant to gender analysis, and American writers have frequently examined war according to traditional gender expectations: that boys become men by going to war and girls become women by building a home. Yet the writers discussed in this book complicate these expectations, since their female characters often take part directly in war and especially since their male characters repeatedly imagine domestic spaces for themselves in the midst of war. Chapters on Hemingway and the First World War, Kurt Vonnegut and the Second World War, and Tim O'Brien and the Vietnam War place these writers in their particular historical and cultural contexts while tracing similarities in their depiction of gender relationships, imagined domestic spaces, and the representability of trauma. The book concludes by examining post-9/11 American literature, probing what happens when the front lines actually come home to Americans. While much has been written about Hemingway, Vonnegut, O'Brien, and even 9/11 literature separately, this study is the first to bring them together in order to examine views about war, gender, and domesticity over a hundred-year period. It argues that 9/11 literature follows a long tradition of American writing about war in which the domestic and public realms are inextricably intertwined and in which imagined domestic spaces can provide a window into representing wartime trauma, an experience often thought to be unrepresentable or incomprehensible to those who were not actually there.

Set largely in the 1960s and 70s, Susan Farrell's vivid memoir is a compelling account of what it was like to grow up in rural Armagh, a world rooted in tradition and in the seasons, and still recovering from the impact of the Second World War.Beginning with her grandparents, Susan uses food and family stories in abundance to trace the legacy of that way of life through rationing, the Troubles and the increasing pressures on our connection with seasonal eating and country living.
