Sometimes what looks like the end is really a beginning.

Globe-trotting reporter, party girl and ex-ski bum Kate Rice has escaped a miserable marriage. Her kids are starting lives of their own. She's poised to start a brand new life. She's started singing rock 'n' roll in a legendary club in New York's Greenwich Village. She's gearing up to leave New York and return to the mountains she left so long ago.

And then she gets a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and six months to live.

By turns poignant and laugh-out-loud funny, Cured chronicles the transcendental and against-the-odds triumph of a womcan fulling unleashing the healing power of her own badassery.

It's a story familiar to many women who silenced their voices and quashed their dreams in a vain attempt to save doomed relationships. And then, like Kate, they learned to stand up for themselves and kick some butt.

Armed a sense of humor, an indomitable spirit, and a tenacious will to live, Kate embraces her cure—surgeries, radiation, chemo and immunotherapy—with irreppressible joie de vivre and the strength and courage of a woman determined to be heard and seen.
