Synopsis:

A diagnosis of cancer changes a family forever. Ordinary responsibilities become more demanding and parents sometimes need assistance balancing the specific needs of their children. This practical book outlines steps necessary to help children understand what happens when a parent has been diagnosed with cancer. Families can learn how to strengthen ties and express concern for each other, even when a parent is sick.
