Losing Wonder Woman, Book Details:

In a memoir about his wife Kermit Farmer recounts the twenty-year-long love story between a mere mortal and Dr. Linda Lee Farmer, a.k.a. the most badass woman on the planet. From countless attempts to woo a wife who seemed un-wooable to badly timed jokes, you will find yourself wiping your eyes and rolling with laughter.

More than just an oncologist, Linda was a devoted mother and passionate friend, whose intelligence, kindness, and (sometimes brutal) honesty touched the lives of thousands. Witness Linda's relentless pursuit to love and serve her patients until her last breath.

Through the lens of her husband, Linda's story of sacrifice lives on to show that strength of spirit does not depend on strength of the body, and that even in the claws of cancer, love and humor can survive.
