What is it like to give birth to your book? I experienced mixed emotions from joy to pain, fear to faith, anxiety to sadness, excitement to trepidation, and more while I relived the experiences I shared in “A Miracle Within You: Paddling Through Cancer.” This post celebrates the publication of my book and my new favorite song, “Set Me Free” by Rachel Platten!
