520    "Born blind in Vietnam, Julie Yip-Williams narrowly 
       escaped euthanasia by her grandmother, only to then flee 
       the political upheaval of the late 1970s with her family. 
       Loaded into a rickety boat with three hundred other 
       refugees, Julie made it to Hong Kong and, ultimately, 
       America, where a surgeon at UCLA gave her partial sight. 
       Against all odds, she became a Harvard-educated lawyer, 
       with a husband, a family, a life. Then, at age thirty-
       seven, with two little girls at home, Julie was diagnosed 
       with terminal metastatic colon cancer, and a different 
       journey began. The Unwinding of the Miracle is the story 
       of a vigorous life refracted through the prism of imminent
       death. Motherhood, marriage, ambition, love, wanderlust, 
       tennis, grief, jealousy, anger, comfort, pain, disease--
       there is simply nothing this book is not about. Growing 
       out of a blog Julie has kept through the past four years 
       of her life (undertaken because she couldn't find the 
       guidance she needed through her disease), this is the 
       story of a life lived so well, and cut too short. It is 
       inspiring and instructive, delightful and shattering. It 
       is a book of indelible moments, seared deep. With glorious
       humor, beautiful and bracing honesty, and the cleansing 
       power of well-deployed anger, Julie Yip-Williams has set 
       the stage for her lasting legacy and one final miracle: 
       the story of her life"--|cProvided by publisher.
