In It's Half Past Midnight: A Poignant, Practical and Humorous Trip through My Colon, author Robert Cull invites readers on a vivid trip to self-discovery.

Beginning with the author's emotional diagnosis, It's Half Past Midnight follows Cull's tumultuous battle with colon cancer. The author not only takes readers through his own experiences, giving insight to the human condition, but he also gives the perspective of other individuals with colon cancer, exemplifying the inextricable bond shared by people battling the same force. In a warm and conversational style, Cull shares moments of foreboding and self-doubt, mixed with a generous dose of self-deprecating humor and an overall positive countenance that results in a tone of gratefulness and good fortune.

Cancer has touched the lives of virtually everyone in the world, either directly or indirectly, and Cull provides a window through which others can observe a cancer survivor's journey and discover ways to lighten their own emotional load. While it is important to live responsibly, It's Half Past Midnight reminds readers that it is sometimes more important to just live.
