In 1993, Brock and Pamela Yates were living a charmed life.

Happily married, they had successfully blended their families and watched proudly as their children left the nest and found their own way. But everything changed when Pam's then twenty-five-year-old son, Sean, delivered horrifying news: he had a rare and incurable form of cancer.

While chronicling both Sean's and her journey through terminal cancer

Pam leads others through a poignant personal story that every mother hopes she will never have to tell. While burdened with a mountain of medical red tape, Pam details how she, her family, and Sean clung to hope, tried alternate therapies, adapted to in-home care, and finally relented to hospice. As fear and stress began to overshadow everything else, Pam reveals how she fervently prayed and received an insightful answer that provided her with an incredible blessing. Through it all, Pam's story illustrates how illness and loss not only demand tremendous advocacy and faith, but also have the power to teach us about ourselves and those we love.
