Must Read!

Sandi's story is truly one of the most inspirational I've ever read. If you want to know about the power of humor to heal, this book is for you!

A Very Funny & Inspirational Book!

This is an extremely well written true story of perseverance and humor. I especially liked the day to day diary/journal of the author's trials, tribulations and just plain old heartbreak, and how she uses humor to diffuse almost every situation. It was a pleasure to read this true story of courage. Personally, I don't know where she gets her strength from.

what an insiration!

This woman has strength! If only more people could take the attitude of humor in adversity we could all be better off. I laughed out loud, read it out loud to my family and friends And have shared the story with many friends. It is well written, quick and fun and a must read book.

Fantastic

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. What an amazing story of strength in the face of adversity. Everyone should read about this form of stem cell transplant; then they will know not all stem cells are taken from fetal tissue! Kudos to the author!
