Gifts of the Trellis

This spiritual memoir takes the reader on a sacred journey through ML Pearson's life as her relationship with God and her Mormon faith give her the assurance, guidance, and peace she needs to understand the tragic death of her father when she is a young child, to navigate her adolescent insecurities, and to confront the difficult challenges of being diagnosed with the life-threatening genetic disease Von Hippel-Lindau Syndrome (VHL.) She is given the courage to meet the demands of caring for her quadriplegic mother, to overcome the trials of brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, and kidney cancer in her own life, and to face the difficulties that lie ahead for her daughter.
