Jimmy Blanco was one of the longest living survivors of the world's deadliest brain cancer and he defied the odds without traditional medicine. In 1995, he was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme grade IV and given less than four months to live. From day one he rejected chemotherapy and radiation and the doctor's death sentence for him. He self-treated with natural medicine, radically altered his diet, practiced visualization and other mental focus techniques, and had a healthy faith in God.

He fought eight incredible years against the tumor that doesn't quit. Jimmy began writing a book about his journey but sadly did not finish it. Fifteen years after his death, his widow, Elizabeth, found the unfinished book he'd been writing and gave it to their daughter, Jamie. Now as an adult and award-winning journalist, Jamie knew what she had to do-complete her father's work. She has investigated the biggest factors that contributed to her father's miraculous remission and done a deep dive into the latest brain cancer research, both the great and the lacking.

This multigenerational memoir spans more than twenty years and tells the story of heartache, miracles, the power of nature and faith, and the bonds of love that disease and death cannot break.
