Author Laurie Frey of the book Unbeatable [the whole story] will be at Stewart’s Caring Place on Thursday October 23, at 6:00 PM, for a presentation and book signing.

Unbeatable is an autobiographical book that takes you step by step through the year of Laurie’s clinical trial. The clinical trial consisted of extensive pre-testing, chemotherapy to shrink the tumor (which started out as 9 cm x 10 cm), then surgery, radiation and finally more chemotherapy. In addition to the cancer diagnosis and treatment during this year, Laurie’s journey includes having her only child diagnosed with Asperger’s Syndrome (also referred to as high functioning autism), her brother served our country in Kuwait and Iraq with the Army Reserves, her father had open heart surgery that kept him in the ICU much longer than anticipated, and she and her husband were building a house for the first six months of her treatment.

This book, as the title states, will reveal the whole story – humor, pain, fear, joy, faith, anger and survival. Besides getting a play by play of what happens in the life of one breast cancer patient, the unique aspect of the book will be the perspective of those who joined Laurie in the journey. One person’s perspective is just that – only one perspective. The book allows Laurie’s husband, family members and closest friends to interject what they felt at critical, serious moments and humorous moments. These, added to the theatrical simplistic writing style, will allow you to laugh and cry while reading the same page. The book dives into the journey from a spiritual perspective, allowing Laurie’s faith to emerge stronger and more passionate as the whole journey unfolds.

Books will be available for purchase if you don’t already have a copy! Please call us at 330-836-1772 for more information.
