"It's okay to be scared, to feel lonely... we'll get through it,
because we have to.'' For more than 40 years Linda and Anne have
performed side by side on stage as members of iconic Irish girl
group The Nolans. But in 2020 the sisters sat next to each other
for a very different experience. Soon after returning home from
filming their hit TV series The Nolans Go Cruising, with their
sisters Coleen and Maureen, Linda and Anne received devastating
cancer diagnoses within days of each other and soon began gruelling
rounds of chemotherapy together. It was a stark reminder of how
cruel life can be, and, of course, of their beloved sister Bernie,
who also faced and lost the same battle. Stronger Together is Linda
and Anne's story. A reflection on their close-knit relationship, in
the limelight and behind the scenes, and of how family helped them
hold it all together when things got tough. Deeply personal,
incredibly moving and told with trademark humour, it's a story they
hope will help you too.
'While I don't have any choice in how long I have to live, I do
have a choice in how I spend the time I have. And I've chosen not
to spend it constantly stressing about cancer. I've chosen to enjoy
the little things. I've chosen to laugh. And I've chosen to look
back on my life and thank God for it.' In March 2017, Linda Nolan
was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer and was given the
terrible news that, while it was treatable, it was not curable. Her
first thought was to worry about her family, who were still
grieving the loss of their sister Bernie. Her second was, 'But I'm
alive and I'm going to fight it.' In From My Heart, Linda writes
honestly about growing up in her big Irish family and finding fame
with her sisters in The Nolans and reveals the shocking family
secrets and feuds that threatened to tear them apart. She also
describes her original battle with breast cancer and how the death
of her husband left her deeply depressed, to the point of feeling
suicidal. Just as she'd learned to embrace life again, and even to
start dating, the cancer came back . . . In this warm, brave and
funny memoir, Linda shows that it's never too late to learn what
really matters.
