Roger was my cousin. His memoir is honest to his personality and outlook on life. Roger was funny, smart, a keen observer and most of all, he saw the best of human nature in his life. His experience can teach us all alot about knowing when to challenge life and when to surcome to its challenges with grace.


While fighting cancer is no laughing matter, Roger was able to share with us his most intimate battle while letting us laugh with him at the many ironies of his situation.

As hard as it was for me to read Rogers story (I thought I had known it all, I didn't.) I found that I couldn't put the book down. It's an inspiring lesson in embracing all that life throws your way and experiencing it with those you love.
