Cancer Book Honored With Prestigious Mom's Choice Award
Clumsy Ducks Publishing announces the winning of the Mom's Choice Award for its 2008 title, 'My Angels Are Come,' by author Art Stump. The award-winning book, a remarkably frank account of prostate cancer survival, is honored by the recognition of the Mom's Choice Awards organization.
South Bend, IN (PRWEB) March 19, 2009 -- The Mom's Choice Awards is an established benchmark for excellence in family-friendly media products. Clumsy Ducks Publishing is pleased to be recognized as an MCA award recipient and to be associated with the mission and goals of the Mom's Choice Awards organization.
The winning title, 'My Angels Are Come,' is a book about cancer survival. It chronicles with remarkable candor the author's encounter with prostate cancer. Writing with forthright honesty, Mr. Stump tells his deeply personal story in journal format, stepping the reader through every aspect of his cancer experience.
An avid technophile, Mr. Stump was fascinated throughout his treatment program by the wealth of technology surrounding him at the host hospital system, Memorial Hospital of South Bend, Indiana. In the book's narrative, however, he turns his attention time and again 'without apology' to the sheer radiance of those who reach to help.
From the jacket: "...the truly life-changing experiences that remain with Mr. Stump to this day are not those of exotic hardwares and chemistries, but of people -- always the people. This book is above all an enthusiastic celebration of the devoted group of caregivers who literally gave him back his life."
In February 'My Angels Are Come' was shown at the 2009 Taipei Book Fair in Taiwan. In April the book will receive further international exposure as part of the Mom's Choice Awards Showcase at the London Book Fair 2009. In May 'My Angels Are Come' will again be shown as part of the Mom's Choice Awards Showcase, this time at the BookExpo America 2009 exposition in New York City, the largest book-publishing event in North America.
