Stuart Scott autobiography an uplifting read

Posted Mar 15, 2015
Stuart Scott makes it clear on Page 2 of his autobiography -- written with Larry Platt -- that "Every Day I Fight" is not going to pull any punches about his seven-plus years living with cancer. "Let's keep it real," he writes. "I'm forty-nine. There's a good chance I'm going to die a helluva lot earlier than I ever wanted to. There's a good chance I'm going to die soon. And I know it. I know it every moment of every day. And that reality is never not with me." (Newsday)
