Love and Light - Shrieve Krystn

How My Cancer Banished Darkness for All Time

Written in real-time on her iPhone, Love and Light tells the story of how one woman chose to face stage 3 colon cancer - from the initial diagnosis while waking from her first colonoscopy ... to the moment when she swallowed her final chemo pill with a tall drink o' water and a chaser of Malibu Rum.

The earliest draft was read by her mom, who dutifully passed each page to her dad. They read at different paces and she watched as her mom laughed, while her dad cried - and smothered a giggle when they looked at each other, befuddled and bemused, as the story ricocheted between moments that were heart-wrenching and heartwarming.

Pay no mind to the occasional curse word as you navigate the truly personal, up-close, front-row, blow-by-blow, head-in-a-bucket details of her faith-filled journey - told through actual, real-life, uncensored and unedited texts to family and friends ... to girlfriends and besties ... to a husband and a Hoya ... to one sister and two poker brothers ... to cowboys and broncos ... and a boy next door.
