Having known several people personally that has battled cancer, I thought this book might have been written as an inspiration to help others in dealing with a terminal illness. After reading it I felt like it was a very negative book about a daughter that wanted to bash her mom too much and glorify her dad, at any cost to others, including her mom and the siblings. This book might allow others to see the difficult struggles one faces with dealing with a terminal illness and, possibly in light of those stuggles, one might feel compelled to examine the relationships around oneself. Others may find it enlightening but I was not impressed by the story.
