Book Summary: Is it possible to face your darkest days with hope and joy and purpose? The life of Colleen Chao was bright and beautiful—she was a talented, confident, and ambitious young woman. So, Colleen never imagined that she'd swim through two decades of deep-water anxiety and depression. And never in her life did she imagine hearing the words: “Cancer. Stage four. Terminal.”  Suffering on its own could have crushed Colleen. Her pain, instead, opened her eyes to eternal realities and has wrought a soul of indestructible joy. Colleen helps fellow sufferers to embrace one day at a time, to trust and love Jesus more, and put themselves In the Hands of a Fiercely Tender God.
