Smudgepot, A Triumph of Love over Cancer, is the story of Mary DiViggiano, and her eighteen-year battle with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. Follow Mary from her early days on the farm in Solon, Iowa, through her college years, as a witness to history, world-traveler, astute Chicago businesswoman, and loving wife. Her epic battle with this life-threatening disease, and the bravery she exhibited in the face of this challenge, is remarkably retold here by her beloved husband, John, who remained faithful and with her every step of the way. You will laugh, then cry as you read about her life and her struggle. But you will also be inspired by the beauty of the love story within.
