Author Lynn M. Butterbrodt's husband, Ross, was diagnosed with cancer twice in his life. The first time was as a two-year-old child and the second time was in 2010, a mere three months before he died. Words in a Journey of Care is part personal memoir and part restitution narrative-as well as an invitation to walk alongside a woman as she struggles to reconcile her emotions, thoughts, and faith as her world threatens to implode.
