Knit with Courage, Live with Hope

No one expects to be told they have Multiple Myeloma at age 48, especially not the month they have moved their family half way across the country from New Jersey to St. Paul.

As Gerry Landy's back pain worsened, the phrase Multiple Myeloma crept into his family's consciousness, threading through every part of their new Minnesota existence.

Drawing heavily on his wife, Annie Modesitt's, knitting blog, this memoir of a one family's year draws the separate strands of their struggles, victories, and small joys together into a compelling and encouraging narrative.

We can t choose the disease, but we CAN choose hope.
