<p>Suffering for months, curling up on the floor like a millipede, as that was the only solution that partially soothed the excruciating pain being experienced during menstruation.

What woman would wish for a miscarriage? Only one who felt stripped of the chance to try for a child, to birth a healthy baby. What was the purpose of dreaming? What was the purpose of planning a future?</p><p>In her book "<i>As Rare As It Gets: How God's Grace Saved My Life as I Journeyed Through Endometrial Cancer", </i>Michelle recounts her emotional and physical fight for survival. Her book emphasizes that overcoming life-threatening adversities lies in gratitude-finding strength by appreciating life's simple joys, expressing thankfulness through every challenging moment, building mental fortitude by cultivating a spirit of H.O.P.E and above all else knowing that there is hope in the Lord.</p><p>It is not just a memoir but an inspiring testament of the beauty of God's grace and how it will transform your mind and soul from a state of despair and hopelessness to being hope-filled and grateful.</p>
