Produktbeschreibung

Love revealed through the bantering of a cancer patient and his wife and caregiver. Science meets storyteller and the spirtual journey in between..

A book of inspiration, Cocoon of Cancer: An Invitation to Love Deeply is for those diagnosed with cancer, their caregivers, families, and staff. This collection offers an insider's look at the way life changes forever when the word cancer is uttered. The essays and poems reflect an attitude of wonder, defiance, acceptance, and beauty through the painful journey.

Sometimes raw, letters to friends voice the unspeakable. The scientific voice of Jim, the patient, comes through when he has the energy to speak. His wife and caregiver Abbe witnesses and documents the signs of distress, gains, losses, and the new equilibrium that forges deep love. More than anything, this is an invitation to feel and find comfort.

Caregiver Tips, Questions I Still Ponder, and Questions for the Reader to Ponder are included at the end of the manuscript.

Autorenporträt

Abbe Rolnick grew up in the suburbs of Baltimore, Maryland. Her first major cultural jolt occurred at age fifteen when her family moved to Miami Beach, Florida. To find perspective, she climbed the only non-palm tree at her condo complex and wrote what she observed. History came alive with her exposure to Cuban culture. After attending Boston University, she lived in Puerto Rico, where she owned a bookstore. River of Angels flows from her experiences there and is the first novel in her Generations of Secrets series. The second novel in the series, Color of Lies, brings the reader to the Pacific Northwest, where she presently resides. Here she blends stories from island life with characters in Skagit Valley. Founding Stones, the third in the series, will be published in 2019 and continues with characters from her two previous novels. Her recent experiences with her husband's cancer inspired Cocoon of Cancer: An Invitation to Love Deeply (2016). It's a love story that shares intimate tips for caregivers and family. Tattle Tales: Essays and Stories Along the Way (2016) is a compilation of twenty years of writing. An avid world traveler, Abbe can be found with her husband, Jim, in Africa, Southeast Asia, South America, Sri Lanka, the Middle East, and other exotic countries when they aren't at their home amid twenty acres in Skagit Valley, Washington, or visiting with her grown children and grandkids.

She'd love it if you posted your reviews of her writings on Amazon and Goodreads. Spread the word virally and by word of mouth to all book lovers.
