Held

Facing Great Loss and Finding Greater Purpose
Melissa Eadie was first diagnosed with cancer at the tender age of fourteen. While her peers were experiencing high school, the latest trends, and youthful ambitions, Melissa became familiar with the four corners of her hospital room.

More than just a memoir, Held walks you through Melissa's vulnerable "diary" moments in the process of growth, grief, and forgiveness.
