Melinda Marchiano, author of “Grace - A Child’s Intimate Journey though Cancer and Recovery.”

Every once in a while, life presents an unexpected challenge that requires you to stay in faith; that all things are meant for some greater good, perhaps not seen immediately, but non the less for the “Greater Good.” Until we are able to put ourselves beyond our comfort zone, we will not realize we have what it takes to make a difference in our life and in others as well. At 13 years old, Melinda Marchiano began feeling ill. No one took her seriously except her mom Lee. Together they started on a journey that eventually tested their faith, while strengthening their love for one another when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin Lymphoma in December 2007. Now cancer free Melinda had written a memoir titled, Grace - a child’s intimate journey through cancer and recovery which recently won the 2010 International Book Award, to help inspire others.
