In 1995 twelve-year-old Lisa was diagnosed with AML leukemia. Two years later, after many chemotherapy treatments, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant, Lisa returned to “normal” life. She had maintained a positive attitude throughout the treatment process, but with each new chronic illness Lisa became more and more bitter and resentful.
In 2003 Lisa, finally realized this and began a healing process. She relived her past experiences by keeping a journal and talking to GOD about what was really going on at the time, sharing her honest thoughts, belief, and emotions. In doing so, Lisa found freedom from the bitterness, anger, and doubt which had gradually set in and taken over her life, faith, and relationships.
The ten years she recounts in this book are marked by sicknesses and struggles, but ultimately Lisa's story is one of healing, which gives hope to those of us who are still suffering.
