Light Of Day (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798995153603)

At age 9, Lorna MacKinnon Day's son Sam, reported a sore leg on a family outing. This fateful moment eventually led to a diagnosis of Ewing sarcoma, childhood bone cancer. The years that followed were punctuated with the acute struggle of living with Sam's aggressive cancer and navigating the convoluted world of treatment, research, and the often opaque American medical system. Day tells the story of facing the profound task of being Sam's caregiver, his advocate, and his mother all while navigating her own mounting grief. Day's memoir is both a work of love and one of courage as she embraces the hardest moments of Sam's life and those grief-stricken days that follow. This is a story of hope, of unwavering love, and the uncommon bravery found within.
