This is the author’s personal story and begins with a detailed account of her diagnoses of cancer, finding the right doctor, and the various treatment plans. She then helps us understand the frustration of all the waiting, putting her story in the context of what she learned as she leaned upon our Lord Jesus. It is a great book to better understand what a friend or relative is emotionally going through, but is not able to fully express. It is also for the person who is in the midst of what Emilie calls “Cancerland,” by seeing that her path brought her closer to God and how she shared this hope with others in similar circumstances.
