Elsie Young was working as a certified nurses assistant in September 2011 when she suffered her first nosebleed ever. As the bleeding continued for months and increased in severity, Elsie sought help from a variety of medical providers until 2013 when she received devastating news from her doctor: it could be cancer. In a poignant account of the events that followed, Elsie details how she moved from Pennsylvania to Florida to be closer to family after her potential diagnosis, endured several grueling tests, and finally learned she had stage IV blood cancer. While facing challenging conventional medical treatments as well as financial and health insurance hurdles, Elsie discloses how her steadfast faith in God carried her forward and gave her the strength she never knew she had. As she incorporated exercise into her life and organic, plant-based foods into her diet, Elsie relates how her health finally began to turn around and allowed her to embrace the joy in every day. Included are several smoothie and juice recipes and applicable scripture. In this true story, a cancer survivor shares her journey to wellness after a devastating diagnosis in order to provide hope and help to others facing similar hurdles.
