Middlebrook was not quite fifty when she was told that a lump in her breast was not only malignant, but had already metastasized. When Middlebrook's husband asked the surgeon for an honest prognosis, she told him his wife had a 50 percent chance of surviving two more years.
Unlike the many upbeat books that end with the author triumphing over his or her illness through traditional or alternative medicine, or by some variation of mind over matter, this book offers no naive conclusion. What it does give is a picture of family love, including lessons in dealing with pain so real and unflinching that readers will cling to Middlebrook even as she takes them right to the edge of the abyss.
Seeing the Crab is filled with unforgettable vignettes - of the author unable to activate the automatic faucets in an airport bathroom (as if the machine already sees her as gone), facing up to her daughter's refusal to get a driver's license (so that her mother cannot leave her), and coming to appreciate a friend's brutally honest words: "This is life's biggest transition. Go for it."
