Hummingbird in a Hurricaine

Shelli and I have known each other forever. We are cousins by birth, friends by choice. She was diagnosed with melanoma skin cancer c 2012 and began journaling about her experience with diagnosis treatment and remission on Facebook. As one of her FB followers, I began to see a transition in her spiritual writings emerge. With her permission, I began to put her posts into a book form. “Hummingbird in a Hurricane" was published on CreateSpace in November 2014. The reader can’t help but be engaged by Shelli’s raw and organic writing about her spiritual transformation during her cancer experience. Also, the reader will learn from Janine’s writing how she manages the role of the helpless observer of a loved one battling cancer. Shelli now manages a Facebook Page- “ Today I am thankful for” . The books are available on Amazon or from the author. We had our first book signing at the Woodstock Library. Thanks to Gilles Malkine for taking this great photo.
