In 2005 Ariadne “Ari” Sylvester felt ill. Initially misdiagnosed, Ari was then told she had stage 4 cancer, with at best a 50/50 chance of survival.

She was 36, with a husband and two children. They lived in New Hampshire. A Lantern In The Dark is her story, of treatment, navigating the medical system and life. They moved, multiple times, finally landing in Oriental in 2011.

The book simply states “…this memoir reveals how love, humor and community became the lantern that guided her back to hope and remission.”

A Lantern In The Dark debuts with a book signing Saturday February 28, 9a – 12noon at The Bean. Come by, meet the author, talk about life, and take home your copy of the new book.
