Pam, who was only four when she was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, was given only months to live. Her sister, Heather, was six. Pam lived another 22 years, leaving the family in crisis and affecting Heather and her siblings in ways that imprinted them for a lifetime. For anyone who has ever faced an illness, an obstacle or a loss and thought they couldn’t go on, “Sixtyfive Roses: A Sister’s Memoir” offers a real-life story that inspires people to dig deep for the courage, strength and love they need to keep going and never give up. Pam could not pronounce “cystic fibrosis.” Instead, she called her illness “Sixtyfive Roses.”
