WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT THE BOOK:
Nancy Beckerman has written an absorbing narrative of her family’s
encounter with, and resolute response to, a formidable illness. A sad,
moving and captivating book – I couldn’t put it down…
Michael Weissman, M.D., Physician
Nancy Beckerman shares a spiritual journey of fear and hope, a story of
strength and beauty of the human spirit, in “Out of Time.” Nancy
became, as she writes, “an example of how to deal with cancer,” one we
can look to in understanding the fear, optimism, honesty and love that
comes with a family’s fight against cancer. Having walked this path
with the Beckermans, it is a story I will not forget; nor will those who
experience it through these pages.
Jonathan Lewis, M.D., Ph. D., ZIOPHARM Oncology
Formerly Professor of Medicine & Surgery at Memorial
Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
MUST READING for medical students and everyone else in the medical field
and its support services, including those who work in the medical
insurance industry, caregivers, and everyone who comes in contact with
patients.
Susan Milligan, Caregiver
“Out of Time” is an honest, direct, moving portrait of a couple battling
cancer together. This is a must-read for medical professionals who want
to understand illness from the patient’s point of view, and how a doctor
can become a “guardian angel.” It shows how possible it is to find
moments of joy and repose amidst adversity, and how we can hold on to
love and life even when facing an overwhelming loss.
Ilana DeBare, Author of “Where Girls Come First: The
Rise, Fall and Surprising
Rise of Girls’ Schools”
A life-affirming journey of two people facing cancer with love, courage,
determination, humor, and, most of all, hope. Required reading for
anyone navigating cancer treatment.
NC Tenenbaum, Owner, MedicalFrontiers.com
If the story of the loss of a beloved husband and father could be
uplifting and positive, then the author of Out of Time has made it so
through her thoughtful and heartfelt telling of this very personal
tale. Nancy Beckerman slowly peels back the layers of the story,
taking the reader through a journey so many of us will go through, and
gives us an important lesson on how to get out of a tragically early
death of a spouse – alive and with hope for the future.
Zazel Loven, Editor, Writer, Community Activist
With careful documentation, this well written memoir of a loving
couple’s struggle is very compelling reading. It was sad but always
hopeful.
Polly Wastcoat Weissman, Teacher
