The Other Side of the Bridge and What I Found There

By Bill LaNicca

This is not just another book about a cancer victim who beat the odds. The Other Side of the Bridge and What I Found There chronicles the childhood of Bill LaNicca in Long Island, New York. It's a story about the exuberance and tenacity of youth... and the awesome power of love. Bill developed a type of bone cancer in his leg and suffered through years of painful treatment with extraordinary grit and the grim determination to be just another ordinary kid. Even after he was also diagnosed with intestinal cancer, he fought back with all the weapons in his little boy's arsenal: sports, skateboards, and every kind of roughhouse play imaginable.But Bill never knew he had a disease that threatened not only his leg and stomach but also his life. That secret, that burden was shared only by his doctors and his wonderful family.The Other Side of the Bridge and What I Found There is irreverent, outrageously funny, and wonderfully human. This is a story about a little boy's courageous struggle and the committed people who helped him find a miracle.
