My thoughts on dear deb  This is a book that gets to your inner being and grabs on. You will find yourself relating to situations or feelings from the very beginning. What first struck a chord in me to want to read this book was the front cover. The words cancer struck me as I am sure it does many others as well. So many of us have been affected by cancer, if not ourselves then someone we know. But this isn’t a book about cancer, it is a book about life’s journeys and the life lessons we learn from and the strength we get from God even though it doesn’t seem He is always there. You will get to know Margaret through the letters she writes to her friend Deb. Deb is battling cancer and has no doubt in her mind that there will be a miracle. She doesn’t say a miracle for her to beat cancer; she just says there will be a miracle. Margaret’s letters become shared by many around the world and all of these letters have been turned into this one touching book. I feel as if I know … [Read more...]
