| Publisher Description: If you've ever wondered how you might find the courage, hope, and faith to face the challenges of cancer and caregiving, you're not alone. "Damocles' Wife" reveals the inner journey of a cancer caregiver, a young wife and mother whose husband becomes a long-term survivor of brain cancer. This is the whole family's story of learning to cope not only with the practical aspects of cancer and caregiving but, most essentially, how to really survive---in your soul. Join their journey as they learn to take down the Sword of Damocles hanging over Scott's head and finally embrace life with all of its changes. "The truthfulness of this book by Shelly Francis will help identify the many emotional, mental, and spiritual phases of walking with another soul on earth whose body has been struck by deep challenge. It's the truth telling that readers in similar situations will resonate with." ---Clarissa Pinkola Est s, PhD |
