Journeys of Heartache and Grace – Conversations and Life Lessons from Young People with Serious Illnesses is a positive, practical and poignant book about a journey we will all face with our loved ones and ourselves: the ending of our lives.  Melody Chatelle approaches this topic from the viewpoint of seriously ill young people who have little to hide or hold back. She hears and writes about their personal journeys, how they want to be treated, what they have to say about their own lives, and how people of all ages can deal with their own pending mortality.

"This book is a must read for anyone who wants to support a loved one through a serious illness. It provides straightforward answers to a difficult question: How can I help?"--Joy H. Selak, Ph.D., Author

"If you've ever wondered what to say when someone is really sick, this book is a must read."
--The Honorable Ron Kirk, Former Texas Secretary of State and Mayor of Dallas

"I have been profoundly inspired by the courage, strength and optimism of children facing serious or terminal illnesses. Just as I have learned from them to embrace life every day, everyone reading this book will be deeply touched and moved to fully embrace the blessings of life."
--The Honorable Chet Edwards, Member, United States Congress
