This is the last book in the series of 4. This one will make you laugh and cry!From back cover:"Cancer is a short word for something that has such a devastating impact. Why would God allow it to strike Sylvia Bryan-and why now, of all times, when her mission work back in Nicaragua is bearing such fruit and beset by such needs?For Sylvia, the ravages of surgery and chemotherapy are just part of the struggle. There are the questions, the emotional upheaval-and through it all, one deep desire: that God will use her illness, and that she will glorify him through it.As the friends of Cedar Circle lend their love and support to Sylvia and her husband, God is at work, knitting hearts, shaping and changing lives, and, out of this season of pain and sorrow, drawing forth blessings that are unforeseen, joyous, and enduring."
The authors did a magnificent job telling the story of Sylvia's struggle with breast cancer. Their description of the progressive stages of treatment seemed realistic. Leaning on their faith, her family and friends were deeply affected by Sylvia's plight. They were also coping with issues of blended families, youth incarceration, raising a Down's Syndrome child, and financial pressures. I liked the character development resulting from the various relationships. This is a must read for anyone interested in life for breast cancer patients and their families.
