5.0 out of 5 stars A Phenomenal book!, April 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Turn It into Glory: A Mother's Moving Story of Her Daughter's Last Great Adventure (Hardcover)

I LOVED IT! Since this is a true story, I thought it was more valid than a work of fiction. As a CFer myself, I could completely relate to Peggy. Peggy's character is so real, I felt like I knew her. She helped de-mystify so many of my random idiosyncracies. Her doctor in the book is my doctor in real life. I've stayed in that hospital room. It really helped me understand myself and CF much better!

5.0 out of 5 stars Turn It To Glory - A Terminal Patient's Last Few Weeks, August 10, 2002

By 

Lisa McDonald (College Station, Texas United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turn It into Glory: A Mother's Moving Story of Her Daughter's Last Great Adventure (Hardcover)

This book was a good narrative of the final six weeks in the life of a young adult with CF. The account gives an unblinking look at the realities of caring for a loved one with a terminal illness in its last stage. Meg Woodson shares her feelings with each development, both the frustration/anger and the joy. She does not gloss over anything, yet the story is one of victory rather than defeat. Meg and her daughter know she is dying, yet she does so looking forward to entering God's Kingdom where she will see her brother who died of CF 9 years previously. As someone who has walked a similar walk with a cardiac patient in the family, I recognized many of the issues and feelings Meg so artfully covers. It's an excellent read for anyone walking through serious illness or who has a loved one who is.

4.0 out of 5 stars Real mom and real daughter face life toughest battles, October 8, 2001

By 

Mom also (Massapequa Park, NY United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Turn It into Glory: A Mother's Moving Story of Her Daughter's Last Great Adventure (Hardcover)

I was amazed at the honesty of the author's words. As a parent of a daughter with CF , this book helped me understand my issues with my daughter. I was pleased to see that it was a book about real people, not all a perfect fairy tale. It made me think about things from a patient's perspective, and made me feel understood as a parent that has my days of suffering along with my daughter when she is ill. There is alot of religion in the book but I found it to be uplifting when I was given the example oof how Peg's extraordinary faith helped get her through. I wish I knew her but I thank her mother for this gift of her daughter for us all.
