Losing Wonder Woman

A Path to Healing

In a memoir about his wife, Kermit Farmer recounts the twenty-year-long love story between a mere mortal and Dr. Linda Lee Farmer, a.k.a. the most badass woman on the planet. From countless attempts to woo a wife who seemed un-wooable to badly timed jokes, you will find yourself wiping your eyes and rolling with laughter.

More than just an oncologist, Linda was a devoted mother and passionate friend, whose intelligence, kindness, and (sometimes brutal) honesty touched the lives of thousands. Witness Linda’s relentless pursuit to love and serve her patients until her last breath. Through the lens of her husband, Linda’s story of sacrifice lives on to show that strength of spirit does not depend on strength of the body, and that even in the claws of cancer, love and humor can survive.

Dr. Linda Farmer Lives On

A beautiful tribute to an amazing woman! Dr. Farmer was my husband's oncologist and the most compassionate doctor ever. She hugged us the first time we met her at EAMC and she cried with us when she made the referral for Bruce to enter hospice care. I cried and laughed while reading Kermit's loving tribute to a real wonder woman. I can still hear the click clack of her shoes. He did, however, leave out the story of the surprise 50th birthday party and the pink flamingo in the pool. Dr. Farmer lives on through the memories her patients and their families hold in our hearts!
