A Journey of Comfort and Hope
The Valley of Cancer is compiled of sensitive, powerful journal entries written by Fast-Vlaar while undergoing a year of weekly chemotherapy treatments.
“From the first page I was enthralled, emotionally attached to the work as I wept, laughed and finally rejoiced. I was blessed by reading this book. I was comforted that hope springs eternal through a woman I’ve never met. I highly recommend this book for anyone who has cancer or has a loved one with cancer or is just curious.”
—Dian Moore (Review in Faith Writers Magazine)
Back Cover Blurbs:
Most of us dread the big ‘C’ word: “cancer.” Those who are diagnosed with this terrible disease also develop a strong dislike for its half-sister: “Chemo.” The author shares her story of pain but especially of hope and, yes, even healing. What emerges in the writing is God’s incredible faithful ness and the supportive role that relatives and friends play in the drama.
—Christian Courier, editor
With her signature gift to find words that “speak feelings” and “carry meanings,” Angie draws the reader into her journey. She asks the questions everyone faces at some time. “Why?” And, later, “Aren’t we all in remission?” Sorrow in this life is not optional. Our choice, as is made so clear in this story, is whether or not to waste its eternal purpose.
—Judi Gabai, therapist
