Today is day three of the Miracles & Ghosts Past Tour. I’m visiting with the supportive Miriam Hurdle today. She has given us an inspiring memoir, a beautiful poetry collection, and an entertaining children’s book. Before you head over, I’d like to share a review of a book that not only inspired me but reminded me that miracles are always possible.
My 5-star review:
“The Winding Road” is a heartfelt memoir that takes the reader through a cancer diagnosis to the outcome. I felt like I was experiencing this journey with Ms. Hurdle, as she not only talks about how she is feeling, but how she had to deal with insurance, appointments, and the physical toll of the treatments. Once Ms. Hurdle learned how rare and deadly the cancer was, a decision was made to try experimental treatments for six months. I’m not sure I could have handled what she endured. Being so ill during the treatments with no guarantees would be hard, but a strong will to live shined through and balanced that out. This was a painful insight into the reality of cancer, mixed with her belief that life is precious, that left me inspired and full of hope. A read that not only shows us the darker side of life when illness strikes, but how the love and support of family and friends can help carry some of that heavy burden. A highly recommended
story that can inspire anyone going through not only illness but other challenges.
