Ross Maloy wants nothing more than to be a normal seventh grader. He doesn’t want to lose his hair, or wear a weird hat, or deal with the disappearing friends who don’t know what to say to “the cancer kid.” But with his recent diagnosis of a rare eye cancer, blending in is off the table. My guest today is Rob Harrell with his latest book, “Wink – Surviving Middle School with one eye open”. It’s based on his own experience with eye cancer and this personal novel is an illustration that there are still beautiful things to gain in the face of incredible loss. robharrell.com
