The longer I live on this Earth, the more i realize that I am not alone in either the small or the large life experiences in this journey.From my divorce to my cancer diagnosis to my forty years of corporate ladder climbing, each experience has mentored me and has enabled me to support others who are walking parallel paths.The never-ending evolution of my relationship with my personal ecosystem as I climb to different levels of understanding is traced through the "Dogs" series. Life events such as divorce, cancer, coming of age, the business world of the second half of the 20th century, and relationships with others provide a glimpse into these microcosms.The latest book, "After The Diagnosis", gets inside the psyches of 66 cancer survivors and caregivers as they find their own new normals after the diagnosis. Uplifting, therapeutic, and joyous are all used to describe this book. "After The Diagnosis" teaches a side of disease that is not taught in medical school.These stories are intimate, explorations of hope and fear and struggle, and of understanding. One reviewer commented that it was like being allowed to read William Kenly's explicit diary. Another reviewer said that as a story-teller, Kenly has what is analogous in the music world to "perfect pitch". The humor and presentation in plot form is captivating. Kenly's use of audience involvement, as he urges the "Dear Reader" to consider one thought after another led another reviewer to claim he was having a personal conversation with the author.A rare, mind-opening and entertaining series.
