Seed, Stem, Bloom: Lessons from My Faith-Led Journey through CANcer

Every person has a collection of defining moments in their life. You know, those times when something stops you in your tracks and makes you rethink your steps. It could be a simple challenge or something much more significant. Regardless of the intensity, these moments help redirect our lives and provide opportunities for self-discovery in the pursuit of a purpose.

In 2014, Mary Robinson was faced with a harrowing and completely unexpected defining moment when she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. A relapse in 2017 determined that an allogeneic stem cell transplant was the only option for long-term survival. And although this book tracks Mary’s story through that long journey, it is not a book about cancer. The core of this book, with its intention to share the experiences of a particularly difficult season in Mary’s life, is all about following God's signs.

Mary Jane Robinson is a warrior. She is also a mom, wife, sister, daughter, teacher, and healer whose story gives hope and reassurance. Her perseverance confirms the power of a positive mindset and faith.
