Guardian INCLUDES A NEW AFTERWORD In 2018, Claire Nelson made
international headlines. The relentless pace of work, social
activity and striving to do more and better in the big city was
frenetic and stressful. Surrounded by people, Claire was
increasingly lonely - and beginning to burn out. When the anxiety
she felt finally brought her to breaking point, Claire decided to
take some time out and travelled half-way around the world to clear
her head. What happened next, on a hike in California, was
something she could never have anticipated. Things I Learned from
Falling is an incredible story of courage, determination and
survival against the odds. Utterly gripping and profoundly moving,
this inspirational memoir reminds us all how easily life can go off
course, how simply we can lose touch with the truly important and
that - even when we are utterly broken - we can be made whole
again.
I'll Stay as Long as I Can is the heartwarming story of an
extraordinary family that learns the true meaning of love and humor
when life hands them the cruelest of blows. This true and unique
story is told through the diaries of the mother, Margy, and Claire,
her youngest child. Margy faces divorce, career change, the
discovery of son's autism, and finally her youngest child's illness
with determination, optimism and hope. Claire starts her diary as a
six-year-old girl who lives her life through her dolls, animals and
fairies. Her diary is her best friend and remains by her side as
she's forced to grow up all too soon, when she's diagnosed with a
brain tumor at 14 years of age. Overnight, Claire goes from being a
self-absorbed teenager, to an adult faced with a life threatening
illness. She writes about her battle against cancer with courage,
and insight. This book is told over a ten year period. It is the
unforgettable story of a family that finds their love for each
other gives them strength they need to face life's toughest
battles.
