Normal

A memoir about resilience, illness, and redefining what it means to live.

A raw and honest story about surviving cancer, growing up with addiction, and navigating a life that never followed the script.

A deeply personal memoir by Matthew Saunders—a husband, father of three, and cancer survivor/warrior navigating a life shaped by chronic illness, family addiction, and the search for stability. This is not just a story of medical charts and diagnoses. It’s a story of holding on through grief, laughter in hospital rooms, and rediscovering meaning in the moments most people overlook. With honesty, heart, and hard-won perspective, Matthew reflects on what it means to live, love, and keep going—when life refuses to follow the script.
