Find Novelist in the literature section.   Alice & Oliver: A Novel  by Charles Bock In this riveting, emotional book, a dynamic young woman -- a fashion designer, wife, and new mother -- is struck down by a mysterious and hard-hitting illness that turns out to be leukemia. As her brutal treatment progresses, what had been a happy, strong marriage is weakened by her physical deterioration, a labyrinthine healthcare system, and fear. From the very beginning, the heart-wrenching narrative will enthrall, so realistic is the depiction -- with good reason, as author Charles Bock writes from personal experience.
