As I read through as these reviews about Vickie's book I cannot help but swell with pride about my sister. Yes Vickie was my sister and I was her little brother and there is not a day that goes by that I don't miss her immensely. The amazing thing is that after reading all of your wonderful comments about her and her book I see all of you have been able to get a glimpse of what made Vickie so very special in reading her book. Her tireless work towards helping others, all the late nights talking to cancer patients, trying to ease the fears, preparing fellow travelers for this journey and for the fight ahead and just being there when they needed a shoulder to cry on. I often think her title of the book was one of her strongest gifts not only to others but herself...the gift of hope.

As you may or may not have known Vickie passed away on February 10, 2007. At the time I could not speak at her funeral, the words never did come that day and if they would have I know I would have never got them out. So it is now in this forum that I can say at least a little of what I wished I could have said then. I do not and will not ever say she lost her battle with cancer due to the fact that her words live on and she is still battling the disease through all of you and with the power to still provide encouragement to all that hear her story or read her book in my mind she will always be triumphant against this terrible disease.

I just wanted to put this out there and say thank you for all the kind words about my sister and for letting me know all the good work she continues to do to this day.

All my love,

Jeff

I have been a pastor for 37 years and have never had a really honest and yet hopeful book to offer cancer follks. This is the one. I am buying copies to give to those who are dealing with cancer, either themselves or someone they love.

I bought this book to give to my sister, who is dealing with her third diagnosis of Cancer. I read it first to make sure it would be something I felt would be helpful to her, and not just another book on dealing with Cancer. It was all I hoped for and more! Both my sister, and I, felt this book was a very realistic, and uplifting book. It was also a very practical approach to dealing with cancer, whether it is the first diagnosis, or a second or third. I would recommend this book to both Cancer patients, and their caregivers and friends.

This is an excellent little book filled with hope and positive thinking to help someone you know or love to overcome the overwhelming feelings that come with a cancer diagnosis. It helped me so much that now I buy it for anyone I find who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Great little book of just what the title says.......Would recommend this book to anyone.There's No Place Like Hope: A Guide to Beating Cancer in Mind-sized Bites

Outstanding book. Deals with emotions of cancer patient and their care givers. It is like a bible. Written in short two sentence or more paragraphs. Easy to read. A chapter to deal with everything you are thinking or feeling. A MUST HAVE BOOK

Vikki Gerard offers so much hope, humor and an enthusiasm for fighting for survival when you've been diagnosed with cancer. I received this as a gift when I was diagnosed with cancer and I give it as a gift to anyone I know who has been recently diagnosed. The author is upbeat yet very cre4dible in her description of her own battle against the odds and she inspires everyone who reads it to charge ahead with hope and optimism.

The book is in an easy to read format where you can start and stop frequently - it doesn't get bogged down in too much detail but yet offers enough detail to make it a credible source of information. It is unlike any other "how to deal" with cancer book I've seen.

This book is mostly cheerful and uplifting, which is good for people recently diagnosed with cancer. After reading it, I left it in the radiation oncology waiting room, where it quickly disappeared. Hopefully, another patient is benefitting from the good advice.

Book arrived promptly and in good shape. This is such a great book to be able to give to friends or family who need encouragement.

This little book is filled with tidbits that are very helpful for thoese on the journey. I bought this for my husband and it helped him so much and have bought it for a number of people since all that have commented on how it has helped them.
