"An extraordinary life, from ordinary beginnings.
Optimism, resilience, audacity, hope, surviving daily
challenges for themselves and those they love; carers
embody all of these qualities.
Cheryl’s is a story about never giving up, nor giving in.
Most importantly, however, it is a love story that knows no
limits. It is the sequel to her fourth book, With Just One
Suitcase, where she met her soulmate, Rob, at fifteen and
is still happily married to him after a turbulent life where
hers, and her eldest son’s mortality was questioned.
With her fearless spirit, Cheryl reveals the mindset
that helped her survive, along with some courageous
admissions regarding her perceived character flaws. But
despite her frankness in discussing life after blood cancer,
she is not a victim. Cheryl is an exemplar of her belief that
the world is full of unknown achievers who have found
a way to stay hopeful despite being fractured on life’s
battlefields. They each demonstrate that the path of a
champion lies within. They each are resilient.
‘For everything each life crisis has taken from us,
something of greater value has been given. Ultimately
the choice belongs to us, not fate, to determine how we
respond to trials; to determine our own quality of life,’
Cheryl says."
