About this title

Synopsis

A moving and profound book. Cancer is bad news. It's frightening to even think about it. Now think how frightening it would be for your children to know you have cancer. How do you tell them? How do you deal with the trauma and the pain? How do you prepare for the emotional and psychological upheaval a family endures when a parent has cancer? Now author Peter van Dernoot has gathered the real-life stories and experiences of over twenty parents who have been diagnosed with cancer. They share their deepest fears and their highest hopes as they provide the reader with invaluable advice, guidance and inspiration. This is a very special gift from families affected by cancer to families affected by cancer. Children are often the silent victims of their parent's cancer. Now this beautiful, moving, inspiring and informative book fills the critical need of children at their most vulnerable moments. Royalties from the sale of this book are being donated to The Children's Treehouse Foundation, a non-profit support group for children whose parents have cancer.
