Description
Award-winning journalist Michele Weldon shares her powerful story of raising three sons alone in the face of cancer and personal challenges. After a divorce from an abusive partner, Weldon navigates a complicated life of long daily commutes, radiation treatments, and supporting her children's high school wrestling careers. With humour and heartbreak, Weldon describes facing her fears and failures honestly, guided by a belief in staying calm, doing one's best, and asking for help. This memoir offers a hopeful example of how a single mother and her children can succeed with the support of others and common sense.
