Dear Friends,

When Seaview Inn was first published in 2008, one of my oldest friends was waging a valiant battle against a recurrence of breast cancer. Patti, like too many other courageous women, lost that fight. Her final months were a mix of grace, bravery, devastating treatments and the determination to live to see her very young grandson grow up.

Sadly, that wasn’t to be, but her fight to live, her willingness to do whatever it took to have one more week, one more day or even one more hour with her daughters and her grandson were an inspiration to all of us who loved her.

I think that must be true for the families of every woman who’s battled this terrible disease. Consigned to the sidelines, all we can do is offer support, offer prayers and offer our strength on the days when weakness triumphs over that incredible will to live.

Because of early detection and improved treatments, there are more and more breast cancer survivors these days, but even for the strongest among them there are moments of doubt. Hannah’s story is for them, a reminder that there is always hope, that there are friends and family to be leaned on, and new cures just around the corner.

To all of you still waging the battle, I wish you strength, hope and many years of good health.

All best,

Sherryl
