When Janice learns that she has stage four cancer, she feels the sand in life-s hourglass begin to escape through her fingers. A successful trial lawyer, she-s spent her entire adulthood competing, clock watching, and chasing the money while life slipped by unnoticed. But this diagnosis leaves her questioning whether it-s all been worth it.
In this candid memoir, Janice reflects on the choices she made throughout her life to bring her to this point. She offers an insider-s view of Big Law and questions corporate America-s relationship with wealth and excess. She examines how one-s longing for approval-from family or elsewhere-comes at the expense of knowing what we want and being our true selves. And she discovers that the remedy is a long, hard road to travel.
Earnest, tender, and eye-opening, Life-s Hourglass inspires readers to ask themselves, -How do I want to spend the days I have remaining?-
