Alicia Baca Rush’s “The Good Kind of Cancer” To Be Displayed at a Book Festival at Printers Row, Chicago

Alicia Baca Rush’s book, “The Good Kind of Cancer: Turning Pain Into Purpose — One Day At A Time — A Health Memòria,” will be showcased by the self-publishing and book marketing company ReadersMagnet at an upcoming book festival at Printers Row in Chicago. The event will take place on September 12-13, 2026, along the historic South Dearborn Street corridor from Ida B. Wells to Polk.

In her moving memoir, Alicia recounts her journey through the harsh realities of Stage 2 thyroid cancer, and really, the life-changing stuff that happens when you get through two tracheotomies. And then there is that fear, the one that accompanies near-death experiences, and it does not just go away because you want it to. Her story is a true testament to resilience, courage and how readers can maybe find some purpose, even when everything seems engulfed by the darkest hours.

With a blend of raw honesty and a gentle kind of humor, Alicia lets readers in on both the emotional and the physical challenges of fighting for her life. As the pages keep turning, readers will see how Alicia meets each painful episode with determination. She turns her struggles into lessons—hope and growth, all mixed together, not neatly sorted, and somehow that makes it feel more real.
