Lisa's Triumph: Victory over Leukemia

Lisa's Triumph: Victory over Leukemia will stir the hearts of all who read it. Giving a thrust of confidence and optimism to those afflicted or closely affected by this, or any other, life threatening or perilous disease, debilitation, deformity, or injury--Lisa's Triumph is creative nonfiction at its best.
This is the true story of Lisa Sullivan and her family. Only days prior to her tenth birthday, they were told she had just a twenty percent chance of living six months--if the chemotherapy worked!
Undaunted by bleak statistics, Lisa's family helped her win an overwhelming battle. Get to know Lisa, and you will appreciate her fiery surge of strength mushrooming from within and experience a budding sensation of infinite power. If ever there existed a golden key to self-preservation, you will find it among the pages of Lisa's Triumph.
This is not merely about Lisa's struggle: It parallels the observations, feelings, and thoughts of those closest to her, explaining their reactions and fears--and how each was able to cope and overcome.
"I want people to know it doesn't have to be like that," Lisa's mother says as she remembers the foreboding predictions that were often set before them.
But Lisa tells it differently. She takes you back, allowing you to look through the eyes of a young girl. "I just wanted to be like the other kids," she explains. "You know, to be able to stay overnight at a slumber party...or have my own hair again after it all fell out."
"Yes," her mother Pat recalls, "she lost her hair eleven times. Finally, we began shaving her head. It was easier that way. We'd sit in front of the mirror, laughing and crying and hugging each other."
Lisa's Triumph radiates inspiration and hope as it conveys a message of faith: a tragic story with a happy ending; a lesson of incredible forbearance against towering adversities; a time of steadfast courage where the unconquerable is defeated; and by true measure, a wondrous miracle.
