Terminally Smiling is a luminous, soul-baring memoir from singer-songwriter and storyteller Cinder Shine Ernst, who knows firsthand how to live with beauty and bravery in the face of cancer, chronic illness, grief, and uncertainty. This is not a book about pretending things are okay. It’s about how to sing anyway. Through poetic prose, deeply personal stories, and original songs woven throughout the narrative, Cinder invites listeners into her world, a place where rainbow resilience meets raw truth, and where hope doesn’t require a cure to be real.
