Book Endorsement from Lance Armstrong: In her book, Grace: A Child’s Intimate Journey Through Cancer and Recovery, Melinda Marchiano offers an honest and inspiring portrayal of her cancer experience through the eyes of a teenager and proves there is medicinal value in love and laughter. Melinda and I share a common bond. We are survivors. And we believe in the importance of empowering fellow survivors to live life on their own terms. By sharing her story, Melinda is giving a voice to this global epidemic that needs immediate attention. I am grateful to Melinda for having the courage to speak up and for her generosity in helping others fighting cancer. Lance Armstrong “I have often said God gives children with cancer something extra. They are remarkable and inspiring people to be around. Melinda tells her story with such honesty and openness that you can’t help but be touched and encouraged. This is sure to be a blessing to all that read it!” -Jeff Foxworthy “Grace is more than a book. It is a rare gem. With breathtaking insights and exquisite writing, as I read Grace, I kept wondering if Melinda was actually an award winning author with multiple novels to her credit. No, in fact she is a 15-year-old cancer patient telling it like it is and she's utterly compelling.” KairolRosenthal Author of Everything Changes: The Insider's Guide to Cancer in Your 20s and 30s “Grace: A Child’s Intimate Journey Through Cancer and Recovery is a vivid and engaging description of a brave and articulate youth’s encounter with cancer.” -Dr. Lee Hartwell 2001 Nobel Laureate President & Director Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center
