Review

"One can't read this story without being lifted by its message, and inspired by a woman's capacity to forgive and love." -- Susan Derozier, MSEd. counselor and personal journey educator

From the Author

My intention in writing this book is to give others hope and inspiration knowing they are not alone in their suffering. The book is a honest and very intimate account of my journey. The thirteen photos in the book were taken before, during and after this ordeal. I hope, in a small way, this book will help others through this experience. A donor's message in this book will also help inspire future donors.

This review is from: An Angel at My Side: Surviving Leukemia Through Love (Paperback)

An Angel At My Side: Surviving Leukemia through Love is the powerful, life-affirming testimony of author Frances Schindler, who had been twice diagnosed with leukemia and confronted her tremendous personal battle for recovery with courage, honesty, and humor. Schindler attributes her victory over cancer to faith, an upbeat, optimistic attitude, and the kindness of an angel of her own. This gentle, positive, candid, and highly recommended memoir concludes with a short list of support group resources and alternative therapies in addition to aggressive medical treatment, and is enhanced with a handful of black-and-white photographs.
