Riassunto

For more information please visit http://www.childhoodcancerportraits.comA cancer diagnosis turns one's world sideways, heaping unwanted responsibilities onto the shoulders of a child’s family members. Parents must juggle treatment responsibilities; siblings must share in the sacrifice of normalcy, and the financial drain can be as emotionally daunting as the cancer battle. This uncertain world of battling cancer forces a certain gravitas upon each child warrior. Questions of mortality, significant friendships, a meaningful life, and leaving a legacy are all brought to the forefront of their minds. With some cancers, children are forced to decide about surgeries involving amputations or whether they will be able to have a family of their own. Defending their childlike wonder and innocence in the midst of this uncertainty becomes an uphill struggle for battle-weary parents. Hope can seem far away.Like a dear friend, Childhood Cancer Portraits is always going to be available to you at a moment’s notice. It will help give perspective, brighten your path, and lighten your load. Be encouraged. There are no expectations to read the book from cover to cover in one sitting or even in a week. Childhood Cancer Portraits may be read front to back, back to front, or piecemeal. The choice is yours. -Excerpt from the Introduction

Su questo libro

L'autore:

“Live a Life That Will Make Your Grandchildren Proud,” was etched into Peter’s mind after he learned that his grandfather, whom he is named after, owned and personally ran a successful gas station for 20 years without the ability to read. His motto is vital because no matter one's passions or dreams, one's legacy should be clearly seen for generations. His books include: Haiti’s Hope which highlights the humanity of the Haitian people who were left behind after the 2010 earthquake; To Have & To Hold: a Life for Generations features the stories and interviews of 12 women who were affected by breast cancer while part of a fashion shoot paired with fast cars, helicopters and a private jet in Atlanta, Georgia; Breast Cancer Portraits: wisdom from the journey features 49 portraits of men and women breast cancer survivors paired with their handwritten words of wisdom and hope. Peter’s photographs have been seen on the walls of boutique stores, billboard campaigns, album covers of acclaimed music artists, national magazines, and received a 2011 International Award of Excellence for his portrait of a Haitian woman photographed shortly after the 2010 earthquake. Peter, his wife, Genevieve, and their son, Ezra, makes their home outside Atlanta, Georgia.
