Each year cancer?s shadow touches a million new families, but those are just the statistics. There is a compelling story behind every statistic, and in those stories are priceless insights and powerful lessons for every family battling this disease. Some of the most inspiring and practical are featured in the pages of this book.
Each vignette (there are approximately 200 in all) averages less than 200 words, but each provides an immediately useful insight, suggestion or lesson drawn from the personal experiences of a family that has already met and dealt with cancer. These vignettes are different from each other in many ways but the overall message of the book is consistent, powerful and hopeful: "If you have recently been diagnosed with cancer, be assured that you are never fighting alone. Cancer is strong, but when all of us combine our love, support, energy, faith and experience, we are always stronger."
