Autorenporträt
Having been told by a world-renowned authority that her only child diagnosed with a serious autoimmune disorder and organ involvement at the age of 12 will have an additional 5 years of life, the author describes how she and her husband decide to direct which path their daughter will follow. Using free-verse poetry, the author recounts her personal background as a young student, mother, and professional editor, and her family history as she weaves a poignant and inspiring story that aims to remind everyone to persevere and always move forward (the concept of which is captured in the word "gaman" in the book title). Despite a person's challenges and afflictions, the author motivates her readers to never allow personal trials to command center stage and, most importantly, to choose to live and continue the journey in the circle of life.
