Dear Reader, "You can't control life by being afraid of it." This is part of my sister's legacy to me, and to everyone who reads SIXTYFIVE ROSES: A SISTER'S MEMOIR. At four years old, my sister Pam was diagnosed with what she called "Sixtyfive Roses." (Cystic Fibrosis) I promised to die with her, but instead she taught me how to live. Together, we found joy and meaning in a world of pain and uncertainty. This is a story about the kind of faith, fortitude and forgiveness we tell ourselves we don't possess, but which is present in all of us. It's about fighting for your life, and never giving up. Reviewers and readers describe SIXTYFIVE ROSES this way: "beautifully written," "I couldn't put it down," "lovely, funny, heartbreaking." Whether you're looking for hope and inspiration, or just a good read, come take this journey with me. I've written this book for you. CONTEST! Please send your "sibling story" to me at heather@sixtyfiverosesthebook.com Five readers will receive a free signed copy of SIXTYFIVE ROSES, a one-year membership to the International Women's Writing Guild, (www.iwwg.com) and have their story published on my website. Many thanks and blessings, Heather Summerhayes Cariou www.sixtyfiverosesthebook.com Globe and Mail 100 Best Books of 2006 Foreword by Celine Dion "Cariou is a deft emotional cartographer...SIXTYFIVE ROSES is a love letter, a thank-you note, a defence, a plea, a setting straight, a reaching out." - Paula Todd, Globe and Mail book review. "I laughed and cried and couldn't put it down. It is so truthful, so real, and has such complete integrity... This book is a love song from one sister to another. It is also completely relevant to so many families, not just CF families." - Miriam Greenspan, Healing Through the Dark Emotions: The Wisdom of Grief, Fear and Despair I couldn't put it down. The tale of these two sisters, how they laughed, cried and LIVED, is completely enthralling. – Angela Lansbury, actress |
