Brenda Courtie is the wife of a country parson. Shortly after their pre-retirement move, she was diagnosed with a serious breast cancer. But 'A Year on the Sofa' is not the usual therapeutic cancer diary. Rather, it is the author's personal reflection, during a time of illness and treatment, on some of the positive and funny episodes in her life as a clergy wife, and mother of two children who are now in the entertainment business. Recalling and sharing some good times - without denying the bad times - is part of her armoury in the fight against cancer, as she makes a determined effort to win - or at least to avoid throwing in the towel prematurely.
