Publisher's summary

"An authentic, page-turning debut memoir, this intimate, passionate chronicle of recovery will appeal to those who've battled cancer." (Publishers Weekly)

"While memoirs of surviving disease are plenty, Hundred Percent Chance stands apart through its genuine humor and unflinching portrayal of both the physical and psychological struggles that accompany a diagnosis of disease. Brown avoids inspirational platitudes, instead demonstrating the need for perspective and perseverance in the face of illness. Every person Brown introduces, whether their role is significant or small, will leave a memorable impression on readers. This memoir's focus on the tiny moments that ultimately shape and define a life, are particularly poignant and engrossing." (The BookLife Prize)

Perfect for fans of When Breath Becomes Air.

In 1990, Robert K. Brown was an ordinary college student studying abroad in England when a series of unexpected and extraordinary events would change the trajectory of his life forever. Choosing to ignore ominous early symptoms, he was still troubled enough to write in his journal "just for the record...I am frightened because things are happening to me that I can’t explain away."

What follows is a race against time to return home to Seattle for months of chemotherapy, countless complications, and a search for as much normalcy as possible when forced to face mortality at 20.

Inspiring, survival story

Robert, thank you for sharing your story with us. It reminded me of my battle with cancer and the love and support as many doctors and nurses and friends and family that I experienced. I’m so glad our paths crossed.
