Darkest Before Dawn

"You have cancer" are often the worst words ever heard by a patient. When Mia heard them, she wasn't certain whether to give up or fight. A group of very special friends rallied around her, sharing all of life's moments as she began a long battle with an unpredictable foe. As the fight went on, she shared triumphs in early victories in healing, to losses in halting the spread of the cancer. Surprises came along the way: an unspeakable betrayal by those she thought closest to her; the up and down journey in pursuit of a college degree and best of all, an unexpected love of a lifetime with someone right under her nose. Read along and laugh, cry, cheer, rage and rejoice with Mia and her 'Gold Team' friends.
