Synopsis

Mom Interrupted: A Young Family Faces Cancer is a dramatic, true account of a real family's journey through discovery, diagnosis and treatment that, because of its accelerating twists and surprises, reads like thriller. Built around original e-mail updates sent to concerned family and friends, the story unfolds and gains speed with each new medical discovery. Sprinkled throughout are flashbacks and anecdotes revealing, sometimes hilariously, sometimes tenderly, the strengths, character, and unique abilities of a mother devoted to raising nine children. It's a story about cancer, but also a story about husbands, wives, and families, and the love and devotion that holds them together. This heart wrenching chronicle will resonate with anyone who cares about the challenges facing families. An author's loving tribute to one tough mother, who bore his nine children, nurtured them, loved them, and unknowingly prepared them for her own demise. Mom, Interrupted will grip you, touch you, and inspire you. A portion of book sale proceeds will be donated to cancer research and support organizations.
