PDL Book "Paddling Against the Current" Makes Its New England Debut

Pictured here is Jonathan Moss (son of PDL member Sylvia ) exchanging books with Barbara Delinsky author of "Uplift" and keynote speaker at a Cancer conference held at the Baystate Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts last month.

 

Barbara Delinsky wrote many bestselling novels including "The Woman Next Door" and "Coast Road," which featured a heroine who is a breast cancer survivor.  After both Delinsky and her mother were diagnosed with breast cancer she wrote "Uplift," which covers all the small questions that women ask when they are faced with a similar diagnosis.  Written in a warm, often funny, always reassuring way, the book was published in 2001.
