This poetic novel shares Christine Mulvihill’s story and pieces of her epic poetic novel spanning 15 years, Life is One Tough Pill to Swallow, about the brutality of life and despair of one child's fight with cancer.

He hopes sharing her words will help the world understand some of the issues facing childhood cancer survivors and inspire people to join the fight against cancer.
