Family Reading list

The following books are offered by www.hurricanvoices.org/list/order_start.cfm or call (617) 928-3300 2005 list.

This list was first published by the organization in 2002. From their newsletter:

"Melanie Martin Goes Dutch", by Carol Weston. "Ten-year old Melanie chronicles a summer highlight; her trip to Amsterdam with family and best friend Cecily, whose divorced mom is having breast surgery. Cecily's questions and fears are addressed by Melanie's mom.

Strongly interwoven is the impact of Melanie's reading of Anne Frank's diary. The greater focus on fifth grade humor helps the cancer information slide down easily".

"At the End of Words", by Miriam Stone. "A brutally frank tale from a high school senior as her mother declines and dies from metastatic breast cancer. Beautifully written poetry, prose and letters are structured into a seasonal and monthly chronicle of denial, loss and healing. Gives insight into the impact of mom's illness and death, as well as hope, to older teens or their parents".

"Helping Your Children Cope with Your Cancer", by Peter VanDernoot. "Real-life stories of how some parents deal with their cancer and with the fears and anxieties of their children. Great variety of approaches, leading to a calming sense that all will be okay. Highly recommended".
