What Our Readers Love About Books

5/5

This book is like a friend talking you through life’s darkest times. When I was diagnosed, I searched for Inspirational Books for Cancer Patients and found this gem. Mario’s fight gave me courage to face my own. Thank you for sharing your story

5/5

I read Mario’s memoir one rainy afternoon, expecting just another survival tale…but I was wrong. By the time I reached the chapter about his cancer diagnosis, I had tears in my eyes. I’ve read many books, but few powerful cancer survivor stories have inspired me like this one.

5/5

Mario went through so much but kept going. It’s one of the best autobiographies about personal growth I’ve read. His story made me believe I can get through tough times too.

5/5

When my sister was diagnosed with cancer, I looked for something uplifting to share with her. We read Mario’s story together, chapter by chapter. We laughed, cried, and sometimes just sat in silence, letting the words sink in.
