Finding Hope and Healing in Houston is a powerful account of a cancer patient who refused to succumb to the situation but instead confronted it with a sense of humor and a refusal to give up. This book is no dry as dust chronicle but takes us inside the always compelling head of a fighter with a strong survival instinct. If you care about how a cancer journey is endured, supported by familial love and genuine friendship, this book will give some insight. If you are a caregiver with a loved one suffering from the disease, this book will speak on your behalf. If you work in the medical field and care for cancer patients, this is the author's opportunity to thank you and hope that you find something in these stories relevant to your dedication to serving those in need. If you are or were a cancer patient, I hope you will find a sense of optimism and an understanding of your situation that only someone who has been through it can understand.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Josephine Spence is an individual who has embraced various roles in her life. As a daughter, wife, and mother, she has experienced the joys and challenges that come with each of these roles. Prior to embarking on her cancer journey, Josephine had an illustrious career as a seasoned consultant and CEO in the information technology field. Her expertise and knowledge in this domain were widely recognized.

From a young age, Josephine had a passion for writing, which led her to contribute to her hometown newspaper in Chinese. However, life took her on a different path, and she temporarily put her writing aspirations on hold. Nevertheless, her passion for sharing knowledge and insights persisted, leading her to publish her dissertation on emotional intelligence and workplace resistance to change. This marked a significant milestone in her academic journey.

Continuing her literary endeavors, Josephine published her first book, "Finding Hope and Healing in Houston," which resonated with readers on a profound level. Inspired by the response from her readers, she felt compelled to delve deeper into the lives of her parents, whom she had briefly touched upon in her initial book. Thus, her second book serves as a second installment, fulfilling the readers' request for further exploration of her family's journey.

Born in Malaysia and educated in the United Kingdom, Josephine's experiences have shaped her unique perspective on life. Currently residing in Illinois, USA, she shares her home with her husband, daughter, as well as their beloved horses and cats. Living on a small farm provides Josephine with a tranquil and nurturing environment, allowing her to find solace and inspiration amidst nature's beauty.

Josephine Spence's story is one of resilience, determination, and the pursuit of knowledge. Through her writings and life experiences, she offers valuable insights and lessons that resonate with readers from all walks of life. Her dedication to sharing her journey and connecting with others is a testament to her compassionate and empathetic nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an Inspirational story of courage and overcoming adversity

This book was so inspirational and am in awe of the courage Josephine had as she went through in her cancer fight. But I was equally inspired by her early childhood to finding her husband and having a very successful career. It also taught me an important lesson about challenging what you are told and seek other opinions. Don't just settle but be willing to explore all options before settling on a path - especially one that can impact your quality of life.

In a few hours over the last two days, I read your beautiful, direct, elegant, and authentic composition. And, I read slow and don’t read often. I had to pause because of the overwhelming emotions. And, then I kept reading. There is much to unpack and repack with all you have shared. And, among the many things I unpacked was the choice to live and the choice to have a mindset of determination and resilience.
Some stories, we need at the moment we receive them – I needed your story for many reasons. May others find hope and optimism from your powerful retelling of your journey.

From dealing with a looming death from cancer, to a healthy state of remission, and a new focus on life……. An interesting read detailing her journey, as well as her earlier experiences that helped drive her through the tough times. Books like this help us to put our busy, hectic lives in perspective. Thanks for writing it.

I understand that all profits go to cancer research!
