Review Quotes

Fern E.M. Buszowski says that writing about her suffering has helped her heal from her suffering. I believe her. These pages hold a strange radiance, a dark crimson glow of deepest wisdom. She writes lucidly and honestly from inside her own pain, and so somehow her story, so deeply personal, becomes our story, too. What's more, she often steps back, gathers a lifetime of accumulated insight about human flourishing, and becomes our teacher and our guide. If you need to embrace life and hope, you've come to the right place. -Mark Buchanan, author of God Walk

With honesty and vulnerability, Fern invites us into her journey, not just of cancer and recovery, but the internal journey of fear and faith, of life and hope. This is so much more than the story of a cancer survivor; these are the reflections of a professional counsellor, a lifelong learner coming alongside us as we walk through the shadows. You'll laugh, you'll cry, and as you engage in the conversations and reflections, you'll grow. It's a must-read for those facing uncertainty and for those of us who imagine we have it all together.-Rev. Dr. James Paton, Lead Pastor, First Alliance Church

This well-written and insightful book by Fern E.M. Buszowski is a must-read for anyone who desires to gain wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. However, I believe even more strongly that it is a must-read for doctors.

Fern has taken me to those places that I had not been privileged to go with my patients, and I believe everyone, especially healthcare providers, could learn a great deal from the honest details and reflections she shares in this book. She is gracious and appreciative of the high-quality care she received from multiple healthcare workers who dedicatedly provided the care to save her life. Healthcare professionals need to hear these encouraging words because they are people too who often help others through self-sacrifice. Fern's words of encouragement and gratitude are especially meaningful because of her counselling background.

I consider this book to be a gift to people like me. Fern has graciously invited us into her journey; she has shared intimate and innovative details about finding hope through tremendous challenge. This book is definitely worth reading and sharing with others.-Dr. Tolu Solola, MD
