In her wise and compassionate book, pediatric psychologist JOANNA BREYER writes about how parents can navigate the fierce challenges of caring for a child who has been diagnosed with a serious illness. Arguably, no time on earth is harder and scarier and often more isolating. During her two decades at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Dr. Breyer provided counseling for dozens of young patients and their families. She will share vignettes about actual cases and their outcomes and talk about the times of joy and the times of grief along this bewildering road.
