博客來When a hereditary cancer threat echoes her mother’s journey, one woman chooses to rewrite her story--crafting a radiant memoir about embracing life’s precious moments and finding strength in the infinite power of family love.
Tiffany Graham Charkosky was eleven years old when her mother, Julie, died. Eighteen years later, she discovers that the genetic mutation that took her mother has been passed down to Tiffany herself. But with this devastating news, Tiffany finds a certain strength in hope, resilience, and knowledge. She will fight for her family’s future.
In this intimate memoir, Tiffany shares her challenging journey forward, mapping out a plan for preventative screenings, genetic testing, and surgeries, as well as a reflective journey into the past as traumatic memories of her mother’s illness and death resurface. Memories, too, of an indomitable love that informed Tiffany’s adolescence, and her own motherhood, and would give Tiffany an optimistic understanding of just how precious even the smallest moments in life can be.
Now, thriving years beyond the age that claimed her mother, Tiffany embraces each day with fierce intention--her path illuminated by vigilant self-care, deep gratitude, and a family bond that proves the human spirit can transcend its darkest fears.
