Celine Dion wrote the foreword. Angela Lansbury couldn’t put it down. Thousands of readers have already been challenged, inspired and profoundly moved by this provocative, funny and deeply honest literary memoir, the powerful story of two sisters growing up in the shadow of a fatal illness, and a family fighting for a child's life. When author Heather Summerhayes Cariou was six years old, she promised to die with her little sister Pamela, who’d been diagnosed with what Pam called “Sixtyfive Roses” – Cystic Fibrosis. However, Pam defied the limits of a dire prognosis, and in doing so taught Heather how to live. Together they discovered where to find joy and meaning in an often painful and uncertain world. This book is a must read for any woman on her own heroine's journey, and is especially appropriate for parents and young adult well-siblings who are caring for a disabled loved one, or know someone who is. [30 million American families are care giving a family member. Between 8 and 10 million are well siblings. Over 50 million Americans have an illness or disability.] Visit www.sixtyfiverosesthebook.com to see the video, listen to interviews, and find out What Readers Are Saying. 5% of proceeds from the sale of the book will be donated to Cystic Fibrosis foundations in Canada and the U.S. Fans of Mitch Albom’s “Tuesdays With Morrie” and Jodi Picoult’s “My Sister’s Keeper” are sure to love “Sixtyfive Roses: A Sister’s Memoir.” It’s Eva Longoria’s favorite new read – she optioned the film rights.
