From Cancer to Kinnick

On August 3, 2016, my nine year old daughter was rushed to the University of Iowa Children's Hospital and diagnosed with stage IV cancer. Though her treatment was a harrowing experience, it was punctuated by acts of love great and small, exemplified par excellence by the Kinnick Wave. I wrote this book as an honest and heartfelt look at having a child with cancer, how that led to an outpouring of love towards our family, and as a reminder that good things can come even in the worst of times. I believe the world could use a story like this right now. An endearing account of a family's loving wish to adopt a child from China, to care for a daughter and the support, hope, love, and inspiration they find all along the way.
