This collection of fifty meditations rooted in the Psalms is designed to encourage and comfort cancer patients and their caregivers. Johnson, a survivor of three cancers, includes her own experiences and emotional responses in five sections: fear, anger, sorrow, joy, and gratitude. Each brief meditation begins with a verse from Psalms before relating the words to her personal experience. The book also includes related poems Johnson wrote during her treatment, as well as abstract watercolors. The work concludes with suggestions for caregivers. A member of the Episcopal Church, Johnson nevertheless writes in a warm and welcoming way to encompass people of all or no faith.
