About this listen

This true love story follows Lars and Amanda, two twenty-somethings who fall deeply in love, with big plans for their future together, only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them when Lars is diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at age 24. They must learn to adapt to "medical life", putting their hopes and dreams on pause, navigating side effects and difficult emotions, and missing out on the beauty of every day moments that some may take for granted.

With a compassionate support system of family, friends, and community, and the added benefit of an optimistic and humorous personality, Lars is able to keep his head above water--but not without a constant shifting of the tides, as cancer refuses to loosen its grip on his body. Listen to learn of the resilience of a couple who weren't willing to allow cancer to destroy the life they envisioned, and the community of people that held them up and loved them every step of the way.

"Cancer is so limited… It cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot corrode faith, it cannot destroy peace, it cannot kill friendship, it cannot suppress memories, it cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul, it cannot steal eternal life; it cannot conquer the spirit."—“What Cancer Cannot Do”, Author Unknown

it's a true story based on pure love

It was very well done! I loved listening to someone I know personally read such a heartbreaking experience out loud and hold it together. You can hear the emotion in every part of the story. I loved it!

Heartbreaking & Heartwarming

I don't usually like books that the author also narrates, but I thought this one had the perfect narrator! I loved the love story, and the strength that it took to both write and tell the story of Lars & Amanda. As a 17 yr breast cancer survivor, it gave me a chance to see & really feel the side of the caregiver(s) of the person going thru cancer, and I can truly appreciate both sides. What a pillar of strength Amanda was to go thru each step with Lars! I learned a lot about leukemia, and am amazed at what a great writer/story this is!

Beautiful story about love and courage

This is a true love story that I highly recommend. Cancer is such a horrible thing to go through. One thing that really hit home for me was reading about all the up and downs. One day things look like they are getting better and you start to get your hopes up. You find out the treatment worked and feel so relieved. Then you find out it came back. It's so heartbreaking. The author did an amazing job writing this book. Listening to it, I felt like I was right there for both the good times and the sad times and really got to know Amanda and Lars. Such cool people. There were parts where I started to tear up. But I was also very inspired by the great love they had for each other and the courage they showed.
