There's Always a Rainbow: She Was 28, Pregnant with Twins and Diagnosed with Cancer... Michelle Kramer

Imaginebeing 28 years old, pregnant with twins and told you have cancer. This isexactly what happened to Annette Kramer, a young mother from Utah who was alsoa member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is a book abouta Latter-day Saint woman; but it is not just for Latter-day saints. This is astory about someone with cancer; but it's not just for cancer victims. And yes,it's a story about dying. But more importantly it's a story about living. Cancermay ravage the body, but it doesn't have to conquer the spirit. One lesson wecan learn from Annettes' life is that dying is notthe worst thing that can happen to a person --- not living is. Duringher illness Annette rarely ever showed the fear she felt. She hardly complainedof the pain that we now know she had. She put on a brave front. All who knewher remarked often about what a pillar of strength she was.¿ Her deep faith, love in God and her familywas the well from which she withdrew the energy to meet each day. Buteven Annette was human. And it is through her story, told in her own words,that we learn what went on inside her heart and mind. She naturally struggledwith the things we would all expect. But how she handled it and how she enduredis the real legacy she leaves for all of us.
