A Daughter Reborn is the story of broadcast radio veteran Monnie Whitson's sad, yet beautiful goodbye to her parents...first watching her mother slip away from Parkinson's Disease, and then, witnessing her father, a year later, die from cancer. The journey left her a midlife orphan...but a daughter reborn to true independence through love and forgiveness. Unfortunately, Monnie's journey is the same for many adult children. This raw, poignant memoir describing her family's struggle with terminal illness will give comfort, especially, to those who have held on to false guilt after the death of a parent or loved one. More importantly, Monnie's story gives inspiration to those determined to harvest every possible drop of joy from those difficult, last days. A Daughter Reborn not only takes you through the trauma of Parkinson's and cancer through Monnie's personal journal entries and sweet letters from her parents, but it also brings to light the eventual return to a life filled with joy and purpose.
