{"product_id":"9781947573079","title":"A Reason to Dream","description":"The Story\u003cbr\u003eA tumultuous process of dealing with a devastating disease is the impetus for this couple to learn to live one day at a time. Avoiding the thoughts of how the future will unfold, the heroine buries her fears in chores as surges of adrenalin ravage her heart. Sleeplessness accompanies her nights, and exhaustion fills her days. The hero struggles to maintain his dignity, as he refuses to accept any change in his life and death story. The system further complicates the journey as hospice policies conflict with decency, leaving them to feel unsafe and forced to deal with incompetence. Eyes tear as they refuse to succumb to the temptation of turning away from God. In spite of this traumatic roller coaster ride, they hang onto the unraveling threads of life through heartaches, tugs of war and, yes, even laughter. \u003cbr\u003e The story gives hope to anyone who encounters a difficult situation that cannot be avoided. In addition, helpful coping techniques and pertinent Bible verses are offered in the appendixes. \u003cbr\u003eOther works by Carolee include her five children's books that she has illustrated and handcrafted to offer the unique concept of Adult Fairy Tales.
