I recently received the book Hope, Faith and CharlieActually, a woman I have worked with on blog reviews wrote this book! Another mom just like us.
I'd like to share what she wrote;
"Back in 2007 I wrote a book titled Hope Faith & Charlie . The book is a memoir about my then 6 month old son Charlie’s courageous battle with Stage 4 brain & spine cancer, and our unwavering fight to defy the odds and bear witness to a miracle that would unfold right before our eyes.
My son was given 10 months to live, and the world-renown medical facility that was overseeing his care wanted to due a Phase I study on our son (Phase I studies are only preformed on terminal patients). Our hearts told us to seek a second opinion, which we did. Charlie endured 21 months of chemotherapy and 11 operations. By the Grace of God, he is turning 10 years old this Wednesday.
So why would I, someone with no formal writing experience, write a memoir? Because on the day Charlie was diagnosed I got on my hands and knees and made a solemn promise to myself, and to God, that if he spared Charlie’s life on this earth, I would do whatever I could within my power to renew people’s Faith & Belief in miracles.
I fulfilled that promise by in 2007 – and 2 years of being rejected by every publication house I connected with. Why? I was told that they receive over 10,000 memoirs a year, and will publish just one – and if I wasn’t Lance Armstrong or Elizabeth Edwards, I was not going to get published.
I couldn’t give up on my promise, and turned to self-publishing. "
This book went on to be quoted as,
“Hope, Faith and Charlie
-According to The Boston Globe
