I received the book from the author for an honest review.WOW, incredible, filled with compassion and love, dedicated, written with great value for life, people and family. This is a book that takes you on a journey with one woman, Cissy from the day she learned she had lung cancer to her death. Chronically written as she went through every step of this dreaded disease and the effects it had on her and her family and the legacy she left behind to her sons and friends. Each character masterfully crafted to make the story more believable, keeping it edgy, filled with humor as people support her throughout this journey. The issues of greed in governments and pharmaceutical companies very real as it is highlighted throughout the characters you meet in the book.It is heartbreaking, sometimes difficult to read as you walks with Cissy through this last year of her life. Becoming a friend and observer as she faces the issues, the treatments, the pain leaving only friendships behind without any bitterness. Embracing with her the good and the bad as she deals with her sons when they had to learn about their mother's decease, her relationship with her sister, her best friends and Borg.I really liked Borg's character making this a story that not only reach America but the rest of the world. Fighting the same battle. To get a cure for the numerous deceases struggling with the lack of funding. A mystery that will keep you wondering about the after affects of her "crime" and the lives she would touched.Well planned, well written and fast paced, you get lost in the plot as the story continues and you are drawn into this brave and very courageous woman's life.A great story that leaves you with hope at the end, knowing there are angels in this world that is willing to fight till their last breath. Thanks for allowing me to read and review this story Rene.
