A Novel

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

She spent her life helping others, but when her own life is on the line—can she find the strength to help herself?

Sara Davidson has it all: a career as an immunologist, helping countless strangers face life-risking illnesses; a loving, devoted husband; and fantastic, supportive children. Nobody ever had any doubts about where her life was headed, least of all Sara herself. So when the migraines began, Sara was determined not to let them stand in the way of her work. At first, they were just a nuisance. Then they became debilitating. Before she knew it, she was looking at an image of a lump in her brain, her husband Abe clutching her hand like he was trying to hold on to whatever time they still had.

Diagnosed with a brain tumor, Sara realizes she faces years of death-defying surgeries and long and painful recoveries—and that she is not ready to give up on the life she built. As the surgeries on her brain take their toll, Sara struggles for every shred of independence, trying to save whatever she can of the things she loves: her work, her family, and her relationship with Abe, who is trying his best to support a wife he is slowly losing while he can’t do anything about it.

As her condition keeps deteriorating, and she is left with no other option, Sara must make a difficult choice: will she let her disease take over, or will she save whatever life she still has—even if it means she must give up on the brilliant doctor she once was?

Based on an incredible true story, All the Words We Cannot Say is a powerfully moving novel about love, courage, and finding the small wonders of everyday life that are worth more than words can say.
