Nicky Bell, diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma at age thirteen, died five years later, with his mother and best friend at his side. A Journey of Unconditional Love tells Nicky and Michele's story, describing the battle with cancer in great detail. However, this book is about more than cancer and its treatment and the fight to survive. It's about more than a mother and her son who had to face his mortality at such a young age and the despair and anguish that comes in losing that fight. It's about more than death . . . This book is about life. It's about how this mother and son approached the everyday moments of life despite the greater story that was playing out around them and was outside of their control. It's about what each had learned from the other and the influential roles played in their life experiences. It is about how it still affects the life of the one left behind. It's about the depth of human spirit and the soul's ultimate survival, along with what the survivor is supposed to do with that energy. The connection between this mother and her son has lived on long after his passing, and it continues to be a force in this mother's life every day. The inspiration in this story comes from the millions of small everyday moments, the choices made, the words spoken, and the unconditional love that makes such a seemingly senseless experience somehow bearable. This book gives a voice to parents and loved ones, caregivers and patients, those who relate to this loss, and those who know they feel every heartbeat in this story but who also struggle to come to grips with their own experience.

In this true story, Karen Sacchetti writes of a magical and devastating time in her life that began as a thrilling love connection. Searching for love, Karen met Peter, a handsome charmer living in South Florida. After only four months of a long-distance relationship, Peter asked her to leave Rhode Island and move fourteen hundred miles to marry him. Soon after arriving in sunny Boca Raton, Karen realized that her dream was turning into a nightmare. Plagued by Peter's alcoholism, womanizing, and incessant attention seeking, their fairy-tale romance quickly spun out of control, leaving Karen alone and disheartened. Her only confidant was Mike--Peter's younger brother. Although Mike proved to be Peter's polar opposite, giving her the love and loyalty she sought, Karen soon experienced new challenges, this time with the love of her life. Her journey provides the reader with a piercing view of the ravaging and destructive effects of Mike's alcohol addiction and how their lives intertwined in a most unusual love story. Through all the adversity, Karen learned to press more deeply into God's strength to see her through each day. When none of her friends or family members saw the darkness surrounding her, God knew what she was facing daily. Karen not only unveils the details of the dark maze she was in, but illuminates how God's promises were fulfilled in her life. She received unconditional love from an all-loving Father, God. Could she extend the same love and grace to those who had hurt and betrayed her?
