The Dance: A Story of Love, Faith, and Survival (Deluxe 2nd Edition)

Four months after giving birth to her third child, a twenty-nine-year-old woman is given a death sentence by her doctor. Diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, she’s told to make funeral arrangements and say goodbye to her family. She has always relied on her religious beliefs but becomes the unsuspecting recipient of what can only be described as miracles. Twenty-five years in the making, Joan, or Joanie, as she is known to friends and family, humbly shares her triumphant story as an inspiration to all. This lovely, Deluxe 2nd Edition of her best-selling memoir, The Dance - A Story of Love, Faith, and Survival, includes a new Forward, a heartfelt message from Joan’s oncologist, and a special preview of her next book, Hearts Ablaze. A beautiful Large Print Edition is also available for the visually impaired and ‘hard of reading’ loved ones in your life. This story of courage in the face of unrelenting challenges makes for an ideal inspirational gift. Joan’s Mom had a nickname for her as a child, my little rosebud. Therefore she wanted to somehow incorporate a rose on the book cover. Her husband ran with the idea, designed, and photographed this wonderful project. He placed the red rose in the center representing Joan’s life - which was surrounded by death.http: //www.amazon.com/dp/0692801146
