  • Author, Another Morning: Voices of Truth and Hope from Mothers with Cancer
    (Seal Press, 2006)

Another Morning shows how mothers from different walks of life and stages of illness go on living and raising children in the face of mortality, and how they do so in a culture that denies illness, death and the darker side of motherhood. These women, whose personal histories were recorded by the Mothers’ Living Stories Project, have risen to the challenge of extraordinary circumstances by transforming their terrible experiences with cancer into offerings. They not only wanted to leave a legacy for their children, but through this book also wished to share their hard-won wisdom in order to support other parents facing challenging times. Their stories offer profound life lessons in courage and resilience for all of us.

Another Morning is a wonderful book, a gift of the human spirit in response to great challenge and ultimate concern.Charles Garfield, PhD, Founder of Shanti, Author, Sometimes My Heart Goes Numb: Love and Caregiving in a Time of AIDSAnother Morning is the best oral history of the experience of cancer that I have ever seen.Arthur W. Frank, MD, Author, The Renewal of Generosity and The Wounded Storyteller

Another Morning
is an unblinking,
life-affirming look at
the depths of pain
and the triumph
of love over loss.
