TUCSON, Ariz. (PRWEB) November 08, 2019
Written to tell the story of her daughter who was diagnosed with leukemia as a young teenager, the new book “Trouble the Water: A Young Woman on the Edge of Living and Dying” (published by Archway Publishing) shares the integrity author Idina Santino saw her daughter exemplify while receiving chemotherapy and experiencing complications and relapses.
Santino says the book is centered on what her daughter meant when she said, “It’s not life at all cost to me,” when dealing with her life-threatening disease. The author talks about how that belief directed her daughter’s life and how it influenced Santino’s own responses as she supported those choices. Throughout the process, Santino explores the “value of life” and how to stay true to oneself, the choices one makes and the consequences they provoke.
“It takes nerve to live in this world,” Santino says. “Some readers may find inspiration, others sadness. Or both and more.”
