Media Reviews
Husbands and partners are usually the odd men out in books on breast cancer. Silver, an editor at U.S. News & World Report, didn't know what to do when his wife was diagnosed. Finding no books specifically from his perspective, he decided to write one. Gleaning information from medical professionals and other men in his position, he created a helpful guide that covers all manner of providing support, even down to instructions for washing a woman's hair while she has drains in place. Silver's Husband is funny, tender, and rock-solid. --Library Journal
