Hannah's Gift by Maria Housden

What is says on the back...

"Maria Housden shares the transformative lessons in living she received from her three-year-old daughter Hannah, who brought courage, honesty and joy to her struggle with cancer. During the last year of her short life, Hannah was fearless in the way she faced death - and irrepressibly joyful in the way she approached living. The little girl who wore her favourite red shoes into the operating theatre changed the life of everyone who came in contact with her. Now Housden recounts Hannah's battle with cancer in simple, straightforward language that transcends grief and fear to become a celebration."

 

What I thought of it...

I found this book very passionate and intense. It was very sad when Hannah finally passed away and tears sprung into my eyes. I felt that it was more about Hannah's mother and how she coped with her daughter dying.
