As a former Oncology Licensed Clinical Social Worker—for many years-providing Psycho-Social evaluations and interventions with Cancer Patients and their families - I highly recommend this riveting true story. This book is a Bio-Psycho-Social toolkit that can be extremely beneficial for patients who are faced with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This is a moving and uplifting inspirational story of determination and, ultimately, resilience in the journey of the cancer experience. It is a love story that illustrates the power of true love and eternal faith. This book would be a beneficial teaching tool for all Health Care students entering the medical field and all professionals in the specialty of Oncology-as well as those who plan to work with all chronic illnesses.

Although the subject matter of this story is serious, I like how the author was able to convey its important message in a straightforward manner. Her writing style was distinctive, lucid, and concise. I was completely engrossed in the book from beginning to end. She was thorough and took her time to write down all the steps they took, using quotes from many books and websites that conducted medical studies to give readers a better understanding. She occasionally added entries from Keith's journal, which helped the reading feel more relatable.
Many new words were introduced to me, such as ameliorate, assiduous, malady, and synchronicity. I particularly liked Keith's zesty and humorous personality. There were hardly any errors spotted, and that is because the book was exceptionally edited. And while there was a little amount of barely audible profanity, I still found it to be a thoroughly enjoyable read.
I would like to rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because there was nothing I could find fault with. It is a remarkable narrative that was skillfully told. I recommend the book to people who are going through a difficult time in their lives, as well as those who have a loved one suffering from a terminal disease, because it may bring them comfort. As the author would always say, "Hope never dies."
