Batiuk, unsure about dealing with the serious subject of cancer on the funny pages, decided to go ahead with the story line. He approached the topic with the idea that mixing humor with serious and real themes heightens the reader's interest. Lisa and husband Les faced the same physical, psychological, and social issues as anyone else dealing with the disease.
Lisa's Story: The Other Shoe is part of the Literature & Medicine Series published by Kent State University Press. Additionally, it contains resource material on breast cancer, including early detection, informtion sources, support systems, and health care.
"`A time to be born and a time to die'--Lisa's Story will show you all that cancer and death can take away. But what it really shows us is that there's a lot of life and ways to live it between those two inevitable times."
--Chuck Behrens, hospice chaplain and author of The Candle Maker (2001)
"First and foremost, Lisa's Story is a wonderful story--insightful, poignant, warm, witty and touching. It is an accurate yet compassionate portrayal of someone living with cancer."
--Rimas Jasin, regional vice president for the American Cancer Society (Ohio)
