She is licensed as both a professional marriage and family therapist and a clinical social worker, and holds a master of arts degree in Human Development. She lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, with her husband and four children.

This volume provides the survivors with the organization necessary to carry out a course of action that is meaningful." ---Dr. Roberta B. Holt Faculty, Georgetown Family Center Washington, D.C.

Priest pediatric oncologist Minneapolis, Minnesota
