SPOTLIGHT BOOK TOUR: Unseen Arms: A Story about Cancer, Crisis, and Being Carried by Faith by Evelyn & Wayne Hausknecht @iReadBookTours

Join Us For This Tour From:  May 3 to May 16
 
Book Details:
Book Title:  Unseen Arms: A Story about Cancer, Crisis, and Being Carried by Faith by Evelyn & Wayne Hausknecht
Category: Adult Non-Fiction (18+), 168 pages
Genre: Medical Memoir
Publisher: Mascot Books
Publication Date: May 3, 2022.
Content Rating: PG-13 + M: Mature as it is a medical journal/novel.
 
Book Description:

Patient and Caregiver: the main characters in a drama that started in 2007 and is still unfolding for Evelyn and Wayne Hausknecht. In 2007, Evelyn was diagnosed with an aggressive, recurrent type of non-Hodgkin’s T-cell lymphoma. Although in Unseen Arms Evelyn and Wayne are as medically accurate as their memories and blog allow, the greatest purpose here is to tell the story from a patient’s and caregiver’s perspectives.

Recently, while having an in-depth conversation with a lung doctor when Evelyn was in the hospital with pneumonia, Evelyn was thanked by the doctor for what she and Wayne were doing. She was in awe of his excitement for the book. The doctor saw the need for future patients to learn from experienced patients. Evelyn and Wayne were peer volunteers for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for years. The goal of that program was the same: an experienced caregiver and patient walk beside a person entering the transplant program to make their path smoother. Even though each diagnosis and circumstance is different, every patient has the same questions, fears, and needs. The greatest need is for someone understanding to talk to. When Evelyn was diagnosed, it was easy to find medical information, but caregiver and patient perspectives were limited.

Evelyn and Wayne had three purposes for writing this book. One was to give God the Glory for His faithfulness during this process. The second was to give hope to the patients and caregivers of today and the future. The third was to give some limited insights into the stem cell transplant process. The medical part of this process is rapidly changing, but the patients and caregivers still have the same needs.

MY REVIEW

This is a super cute, humorous hardcover book with pages that can handle sticky fingers exploring them as the book is being read to your youngster. The book was inspired by a Valentine Day at school with Helen Millman, the author, and her son. I remember my excitement when my mom got my bag of valentines and I sat choosing which classmate got which one, handing them out in class and getting one in return. Life’s simple pleasures and wonderful memories.

Seeing love through a child’s eyes in poem form was sweet and endearing. I smiled throughout and wondered…what was I thinking back then? A child’s imagination is amazing.

The illustrations by Vanessa Alexandre are perfectly matched to the story.

In this book, she is hoping to share with her readers the idea that love is in everything we do. I believe, do you?

MY REVIEW

The Living Christmas by Kristin Sponaugle is a magical story I think all kids will love, maybe some grown up kids too. It may have your youngsters trying to stay up late and spy on the Christmas Tree, waiting to see if…

The hardcover book is colorful with large, thick pages for those small hands that like to touch and share. I think any child will love the story and may want to help pack away the ornaments, being extra careful. Perhaps they will even be eagerly waiting to help unwrap them for next Christmas, looking for some Christmas magic.

MY REVIEW

The Christmas Blanket by Ed Damiano is a wonderful illustrated children’s book that delivers a simple message….What is the true meaning of Christmas?

The Christmas Blanket is Ed Damiano’s first foray into the world of children’s books and I think he penned a story that children between the ages of 3 and 7 will love. The pages are thick, bright and colorful, sure to catch the eye of the youngsters in your world, leading them to come up with their own meaning of Christmas. I feel they may even come up with questions of their own, creating a conversation that could include more than Christmas wishes.
