A friend had given me this book to read and told me that it was a story about a woman who overcame tremendous obstacles and found the love of her life. At first I wasn't sure if I wanted to read it, but once I started reading, I ended up staying up until 4:00 in the morning finishing it in one sitting. I just had to find out what happened! I was truly inspired and amazed at the challenges that Laura faced and how she dealt with people constantly telling her that she was going to die and that she couldn't have what she wanted for her life. This true story will inspire anyone who reads it. After reading it, I have a fresh perspective on my own obstacles in life and I feel tremendous courage in facing them. My love and admiration goes out to Laura, her husband, and her whole family.

I have a relative that is currently researching a transplant, and we got "For Love Of Life" to read. It is an emotionally charged, spiritual and uplifting book that taught us how important support is in your life, and how important it is to really love yourself and those around you. I could not put this book down until I was finished! Not only is it good for people who are dealing with terminal illnesses, but it was amazing to read about this courageous woman, and those around her. It really is a love story that puts "for better or worse" to the test, and it inspired me to examine what is important in life, and to put God first in all things. "For Love Of life" is an honest, heart-wrenching love story...with a happy ending! I would recommend this book to pretty much anyone!

A friend gave me this book as a Christmas gift so I've squeezed reading it into my spare time. The book is very powerful and very healing to anyone that's willing to take Laura's journey--- through reading it. The quotes before each chapter are inspirational and help set the perspective from which she writes. From the quotes she's selected I can tell she's given a lot of thought to the meaning of life and how important and fleeting it can be. The healing power of love is the key to the book for me. The unconditional love that she receives from Kent brings tears to my eyes because it was the kind of love that my late wife and I shared. And of course we have to love ourselves before we can truly love others as she so amptly points out. I would recommend this book to anyone that's dealing with life's issues no matter what they might be. It's just might help bring things into a better perspective for the reader. And remember love is the key..........
