When Delia's beloved first husband Jerry died of cancer in 2015, after thirty-three years of marriage, she struggled without him. Floored by grief, it never occurred to her that she would find love again. But fate had other ideas. An article she published about the pain of shutting down Jerry's landline sparked a series of emails with a widower she'd dated in college fifty years ago, and they fell deeply in love. Delia and Peter found themselves soul mates in their seventies, but as their whirlwind romance bloomed, Delia was diagnosed with leukemia—the same that had claimed the life of her sister Nora. See-sawing between tears and laughter, Left on Tenth is the spirited story of Delia's second chance at love and a heartfelt and inspirational account of life after cancer.

A tale of brilliant hope, of heartache and uplift, so refreshing—it is a wonderful read.
