A Rare Book - Healing for Anyone Who Grieves

In this marvelously honest account of a mother's journey through her beloved daughter's illness and dying, Julie Manson gives readers hope, comfort, joy in her being, and courage to face their challenges. For anyone who grieves, this book is a Godsend. For anyone serious about living well and facing death with grace and guts, this book is must. Julie holds out a strong helping hand to her readers. She becomes a treasured friend as she courageously reveals her struggles through four years of being with her twenty something year old daughter's living and dying with cancer. The book came to me as I was recovering from breast cancer. At first, I thought it would be too tough to read. I picked it up anyway. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. Rather than being depresing, it lifted me up and helped my healing. Thank you, Julie, for your gift of writing straight from your heart.
