Eighteen-year-old Hilary Bonn was just starting out in life, preparing for college and adventures beyond her small-town beginnings, when leukemia interrupted all of her plans. To help her body fight the ugly disease, Hilary required a stem cell transplant. While she endured PICC lines, pills, and endless precautions against germs, her family encouraged her and one another with Christmas lights, thoughtful words, warm hugs, soft music, action movies, entertaining books, and their abundant love.
During this time, Jan Bonn kept family and friends updated of her daughter's treatment and progress through frequent e-mail messages. Love, Jan is a compilation of these messages. Jan's accounts of medical consultations and procedures, the uncertainties of life-changing decisions, and times of expectant waiting are infused with humor, insight, and hope told from the heart of a loving mother and faithful child of God.
Love, Jan, Hilary's story of faith, hope, and joy, will inspire and encourage stem cell transplant patients and those who love them.
