It's a story about the fragility of life, human resilience, and the power of turning gratitude into action. We are grateful to Sarah reminding us that 'extraordinary moments do happen on ordinary days.' -Pascale Reich, president of Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma Organization International (ACCOI) I laughed. I cried. I couldn't sleep because I couldn't put the book down. Sarah's humanity and humor kept me talking about her story long after I put the book down. -Amy Norman, founder and CEO of Little Passports This book is a window into the mind of a 40-year-old woman fighting two cancers simultaneously, while handling the pressures of a career and marriage.
