Empowering! McLaughlin provides a strong, honest voice throughout this journey through her life-threatening illness. She share her challenges and joys as a mother, a wife, a sister, a friend, a leader and a survivor!! It's a story of personal strength and a story of the power of a support group of family and friends and a medical team. I highly recommend it.
