Laughter & Joy in the Midst of Trial

Laurel Lee's journal contains the story of her ordeal with Hodgkin's disease & coping with her two children, pregnancy, and a husband who was fast becoming an "ex." Laurel's sense of humor is remarkable considering the tough times she faced as she opted to not 'sacrifice' her unborn child & to delay her surgery & radiation until after her baby was born. As she waited at the bus stop with her young children and "upchucked" in a street trash can, she imagined that folks driving by thought she was a 'bag lady' digging through the trash. We also went through cancer treatment for our son when he was 3 yr. old so I can identify with Laurel's anxiety as she waited for the doctor's verdict after each test. Read this book complete with illustrations by Laurel & then forward it to a friend!!!
