The Worst Best Year
Natalie Khoury and Sebastian Khoury
Told from two perspectives, this profoundly moving memoir tells the intertwining stories of 15-year-old Sebastian and his mother, Natalie, as they confront the unyielding grasp of cancer.
Natalie is no stranger to this disease; she battled the same cancer, Hodgkin lymphoma, eight years earlier. Despite her obstacle through chemotherapy and radiation, Natalie’s unwavering love for Sebastian quells moments of debilitating fear for her son as he meets his own cancer obstacles.
Sebastian gives an honest, intimate and at times humorous glimpse into his courageous outlook on the treatment, and on life. Intertwined with his story is Natalie’s, one of fierce determination to protect and support her son, exposing the true and raw effects of cancer on the entire family. And once it is over, life goes back to normal … but what is ‘normal’?
This memoir will leave readers in awe of the human spirit, the power of love and a family’s extraordinary resilience.
