Product Description She Changed Me: One Ordeal, Two Perspectives is the new book by author team and married couple, Mike and Candace Chisholm. The book chronicles the lessons the two learned while helping to support their then 18 month old granddaughter, Elara, and her parents during her life threatening bout with cancer. Don't worry, the story has a happy ending, but the journey that took the couple away from their home for nearly 5 months in 2020 contained many events that would change how they would live their lives forever. Both Mike and Candace began writing about these feelings and learnings both while they were away, and after they got home having had time to reflect on what they had been through. They waited until their stories were complete before sharing them with each other, mere weeks before the book would be published. One thing for sure, their lives will never be the same, having been changed forever because of a very special little girl. Partial proceeds from the sale of She Changed Me will go to the Michael Cuccione Foundation, an amazing organization that touched the lives of Mike and Candace during their ordeal, and has saved countless lives through their research and collaborations over the last 25 years. When you read the book you will learn about the special connection Elara has to this phenomenal foundation.
