In ""(un)remarkable: How Cancer and Depression Intertwined our Stories of Grief and Hope"", Tennille Corbett and her daughter, Lydia, invite readers into their world, sharing the powerful and heart-wrenching journey of the tumultuous year of 2023. For each of them, it challenged their beliefs, rattled their sense of control, and forced them to confront life's uncertainties head-on. This unique dual-narrative unfolds as Tennille and Lydia reflect on the same events, documenting their differing experiences each month, and providing an intimate glimpse into their struggles and triumphs.

As Tennille, a middle-class working professional, battles stage four endometrial cancer, Lydia, on the brink of adulthood, copes with the complexities of high school, a recent breakup, and the gradual deterioration of her mental health. The Corbett family weathers the storm, finding solace in unexpected places, particularly their family dog, Remy.

As Tennille and Lydia navigate their respective struggles, the memoir becomes a testament to their resilience, love, and unwavering bond. The duo work together to unravel the silos they inadvertently created, sharing their story to inspire others facing similar challenges. Tennille's desire to showcase the possibility of a new life alongside a terminal cancer diagnosis and Lydia's quest to navigate the next phase of her teenage life creates a narrative that resonates with readers on a deeply emotional level.

""(un)remarkable"" is not just a memoir; it's a beacon of hope, a celebration of family, and a testament to the human spirit's ability to triumph over adversity. Tennille and Lydia's collaboration offers readers a poignant and inspiring exploration of the transformative power of love, resilience, and the unbreakable ties that bind us. This gripping memoir leaves the reader eagerly anticipating the next chapter in the Corbett family's journey beyond 2023.

Reviews for (un)remarkable: How Cancer and Depression Intertwined our Stories of Grief and Hope

Wow, wow, WOW! I can't believe that you two have done this. You are both so brave and brilliant. This has taken so much courage, and you have laid it all out in such a beautiful story. I am so honoured that you would ask me to give it a read. As I read each chapter I just couldn't get over the fact that this is YOUR story! You've accomplished such an incredible thing. This story is unreal and you are both so powerful. I could not stop reading and was drawn into what both this incredible mother and daughter encountered. (un)remarkable is truly remarkable and a gift to many families who deal with a devastating life-altering diagnosis. The strong and loving bond between a mother and daughter is one like no other. Tennille and Lydia share their raw and honest reflections in this book and have given the reader a gift, as this is one of the hardest journeys in life that anyone will ever have to face. You will be inspired by both Tennille and Lydia. I laughed, I cried, and cried some more. I am inspired, in awe, and am tremendously proud of Tennille and Lydia. Tennille and Lydia have created all of this!! They summoned the universe and they're bringing it home-SO very proud of them, all they're creating, the amazing women they are, and to have the honour to have been welcomed into their journey!
