About the Book

Smiling in the Darkness is the story of the persevering spirit of a woman in her courageous struggle against cancer. Isobel Bradley's journey is one that will inspire us all to appreciate and embrace the greatest gift of all, the gift of life. Isobel was first diagnosed with the life threatening disease when she was 28 years old; over a decade later her past traumas have returned to haunt her. In this powerful story, Isobel's determination shines through as she succeeds in living her life to the full. Marked by near death experiences, we read about her journey, ranging from skiing and white water rafting incidents through to major life saving surgery. Unable to have children herself, Isobel supports a Cambodian orphanage and regularly visits the children there. She explains how she found the strength to keep her latest cancer diagnosis a secret from her family for three months as she travelled around the other side of the world. Isobel's story is a true ray of sunshine in a world where so many are struggling in the darkness.

About the Author :
ISOBEL BRADLEY: When I first had cancer at 28 years of age a lot of my friends said I should write a book. I've always replied that I wouldn't know where to start and I've only got sad things to write about. At this time I was at a very low point in my life. Since then I've travelled the world extensively and experienced many, many exciting times. When the cancer returned over 10 years later those same people were insisting that I really should write a book. One of my best friends would not take no for an answer. Having had cancer 3 times and looking back on my 42 years I realise that I don't only have to write about the low times of my life, of which there are many, but I can write about all the many happy, thrilling times also. And so I began writing my life story beginning with my earliest childhood memory continuing right the way through to my latest surgery last year. I plan to continue living my life to the full and try not to let the cancer or the colostomy prevent me from doing anything that I want to participate in. I have entered to run the Hinckley Half Marathon in May and the Race for Life in June. Cancer hangs over me for no other reason than it just does. But life will go on - cancer or not. And time-such a treasured commodity will not escape me. Life is for living and I continue to live it.
