About the Author

In 1991, while pursuing her career and raising her family, Risa Yaffe's world was turned upside down with a diagnosis of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. She was immediately faced with very aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatments while trying to parent through the cancer experience. The concern for her young children's peace of mind and well being inspired her to write Once Upon a Hopeful Night. Her story conveys information, opens discussion about cancer, and helps parents and children cope with the illness affecting their family. She is involved with the Washington Coalition for Cancer Survivors where she helps others facing a cancer diagnosis. Risa Yaffe was born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area where she works and lives with her husband and two teenage children.
