When Amy and Dave learned that their six-month-old daughter, Emily,
was diagnosed with a slow-growing brain tumor, they were
devastated. Throughout her childhood, they managed their daughter's
complex cancer, all the while striving just to be an ordinary,
normal family. In doing so, Amy kept her emotions close and
plastered on smiles, some genuine, as she worked in between cancer
clinic appointments, had another baby, and attended cul-de-sac
potluck dinners. The smiles were harder to put on when Emily
suffered from a massive stroke just before her 8th birthday. Amy
suddenly found herself a parent to an active toddler and an almost
eight-year-old who could no longer talk, walk, or feed herself.
Emily's spirit remained shockingly unscathed. In the end, it was
she who reminded the family to laugh, smile, and finally accept
that they were anything but ordinary. This memoir of motherhood at
its hardest reveals what went on behind closed doors and beneath
the smiles, as Amy writes in raw, honest detail about her
relationship with her spouse, juggling work demands, raising her
typically developing son, and finding lasting friendships
throughout each of Emily's setbacks.
