Each day, someone is given a dire diagnosis or forced to face a great hardship. And each day someone who cares for the afflicted wonders what he or she can do. This is why Bernie S. Siegel's works are perennial classics. Siegel's groundbreaking methods of "carefrontation" help sufferers discover their own physical, spiritual, and psychological healing potential, expanding the sense of what is possible not only for patients but also for their loved ones and caregivers. These riveting true stories don't gloss over grief or minimize pain but instead highlight the possibilities available even in adversity. They show that the unexpected and inexplicable -- the miraculous -- are as much a part of life as pain -- and that they can be invited into any life at any time.
