"[Marzouk's] determination and sheer willpower to endure this ordeal shine through on nearly every page...A powerful, emotionally resonant memoir." --Kirkus Reviews "Out of a mother's tragedy comes a full scope of emotions, thoughts, and strategies for combatting the unbearable pain and sorrow of possibly losing her child. It is with a raw honesty and intricate precision that Lise Marzouk shares her terrifying experience." --Cécile David-Weill, author of Parents Under the Influence: Words of Wisdom from a Former Bad Mother "Powerful...gripping...takes your breath away." --La République des livres "A masterful work, a hymn to love." --L'Infirmière magazine "A beautiful story...Admirable in its precision and delicacy." --Le Monde des livresReseña del editor
An eloquent, heartfelt account of a young boy's fight with cancer and of a mother's determination and resilience, which see their family through to his recovery.
As her ten-year-old son sits at the kitchen table one evening, Lise Marzouk inspects his mouth and discovers an unusual growth, which doctors later confirm is cancerous. When he is hospitalized at the Curie Institute in Paris for lymphoma treatment, Lise finds herself torn between two worlds, one at his bedside, and the other at home with her two younger children, struggling to maintain a sense of stability in their lives. And so she writes—of their fears and doubts, but also of their moments of tenderness and joy—and through these memories, stories, and reveries, she arrives at a deeper understanding of herself as a woman, a mother, and a writer.
Brimming with a rebellious sense of hope, If offers an intimate look at how a mother's love and support enabled her family to come out of a devastating experience stronger and more connected.
