Second edition of 'Rollercoaster,' tribute to wife, musical genius, and muse on sale at 2015 prices

The second edition of a book that's a tribute to a wife, musical genius and muse — as well as a deep dive into her brave fight against breast cancer, three times over three decades — has just been published.

Rollercoaster: How a caregiver can survive a partner's breast cancer or any other lethal disease can be purchased at prices that date to 2015, when the first edition was launched. Buy-buttons on https://woodyweingarten.com/ can take you directly to Barnes & Nobel, Apple, Amazon and a lot more choices of vendors.

The book, a love story and a tribute to Nancy Fox by her husband, Woody Weingarten, contains a totally revamped chapter on meds, another on treatments, an updated segment on where to get help, and several new chapters covering a variety of topics.

It's serious non-fiction, dealing with how caregivers and patients can cope with serious disease — accented by occasional humorous distractions.

Woody Weingarten, a longtime voting member of the San Francisco Bay Area Theater Critics Circle, can be contacted via his revitalized website, https://woodyweingarten.com, or his email, voodee@sbcglobal.net.  His other three books include MysteryDates — How to keep the sizzle in your relationship; The Roving I, a compilation of 70 of his newspaper columns; and a whimsical fantasy intended for 6- to 10-year-olds that he co-authored with his then 8-year-old granddaughter.
