From the Back Cover

I'm a 13-year survivor of an incurable cancer: multiple myeloma. As a cancer patient and author, I have deeply appreciated this devotional by Debbie Barr. She normalizes the unique feelings we have when fighting our disease. At times, I could feel her walking alongside, reminding me I am not alone, others have been where I am...and more importantly, the Lord is with me.
