A Journey Through Breast Cancer
A Journey Through Breast Cancer
Brienda Averhart is a two-time author of Yellow Scarf: A Bitter Sweet Remembrance and A Journey Through Breast Cancer.
She earned a bachelor of arts degree in accounting and business/management at Dominican University and has worked for thirty years as administrative assistant and coordinator of community outreach at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital, the flagship of the Cook County Health & Hospitals System.
As a breast cancer survivor and awareness advocate, her efforts encourage and educate women who are facing similar journeys.
Brienda previously captured her mother’s journey through Alzheimer’s in the book Yellow Scarf: A Bitter Sweet Remembrance, never thinking she’d be writing about her own journey through breast cancer. But here she is, a survivor and advocate, who wants nothing more than to spread awareness and hope to others.
Brienda’s community outreach work at John H. Stroger, Jr. Hospital in Cook County has educated and uplifted her, but also equipped her to educate and uplift others. Follow along as she, her daughter, and her husband reflect on their paths to survivorship, for her battle involved the whole family. May these points of view bless you, as well as the resource section in the back of the book.
Every breast cancer diagnosis is personal and comes with its own set of challenges. Brienda Crosby-Averhart chose to navigate these challenges with an abundance of faith. Truly, God anchored her during her trials.

Protecting Cancer Patients from Rising Drug Costs and the Risk of Financial Catastrophe
Protecting Cancer Patients from Rising Drug Costs and the Risk of Financial Catastrophe
The soaring costs of cancer drugs and treatment have prompted investigators to examine the underlying causes of declining R&D productivity and design effective strategies to respond to new challenges stemming from recent scientific advances in life sciences. Issues involve paying increased attention to multiple factors such as raising R&D productivity through research collaboration, designing approaches to drug pricing based on the therapeutic value and cost effectiveness of new drugs, considering and evaluating the merits of alternatives to the existing patents system, invigorating the drug approval process with a view to expediting the approval and use of new drugs, and reforming the public health drug benefits plans in order to protect patients and families from financial ruination.
Additional critical issues warranting high priority consideration include exploring ways to fulfill the unmet needs of the people ranked low in social-economic status, including the unemployed, uninsured, poor, and those engaged in non-standard employment contracts.

For The Love Of Oil
For The Love Of Oil
Rob was born in Holland just after the war, when jobs and food had to be shared with too many people trying everything they could to survive. His family was poor, and everyone worked long hours for a daily meal and bare essentials.
As a young boy he accepted any job to support his family…until the day he was giving a chance to work in the oil industry. He soon experienced how tough it is to be accepted by a drilling crew and to work hard for more than twelve hours a day under sometimes severe weather and dangerous operational conditions.
After years of searching, he finds the love of his life, starts a family and follows his path from roustabout until attaining the position in charge of drilling operations. In the meantime, his closest friends are witnessing and surviving some of the most devastating oil field disasters created by careless human mistakes.
His career leads him from drilling rigs to the Head Office as Operations Manager, where he is confronted with bribes and other intrigues. Managers instilled with honest and fair business ethics are replaced with white-collar criminals, who feel they are above any law. Their only aim is to get rich in the shortest possible time by manipulating the stock market and destroying well-established companies. Rob becomes a witness to his company’s becoming a target of their greed, leading his family to start a new journey in the land of opportunity.
Avoiding human mistakes was always Rob’s most important goal, and he set out to implement his plan to save lives and prevent environmental disasters.

Untying The Knots Before Tying The Knot
Untying The Knots Before Tying The Knot
There is no right age per se for marriage, but for it to have a fighting chance in our age, when fifty percent or slightly higher will end in divorce, there has to be a level of readiness for those who want to go into it. There is no perfect individual, and so there will never be a perfect marriage. However, when we walk according to the guidelines of the original author of marriage, it ensures a level of preparedness and safety. This preparation involves identifying those issues in individuals which are like knots. These knots can undermine and actually undo marriage relationships. Most of those proverbial “little foxes that spoil the vine” in marriage are identified in this book and dealt with from Biblical perspectives.

A Look Back: Stories of struggle and survival growing up and out of rural Alabama
A Look Back depicts with rich and lively details of growing up in rural Alabama. We survived off the land and homemade medicine. We lived in the woods and labored in the cotton fields.

Without self-pity, these stories celebrate the human spirit and the triumphant power to rise above any circumstances. What a privilege it is to share these true-life anecdotes of struggle and survival in the Deep South.

Sit It Out or Dance: A Memoir
Sit It Out or Dance: A Memoir
Author Sally Gerth lost both her husband and only child within a two-year span. With this double blow came a “new normal” and many decisions. Sally could either “sit it out” or “dance” into the future—a metaphor for the choices we make as we cope with grief. People wonder how she bears it, and the answer is: She chooses to dance! Her poignant, funny, and gung-ho journey is both a tribute to her departed family members and a resource for those facing the most challenging life and death scenarios. It hasn’t been easy. She shares insights into a perfectly imperfect marriage haunted by a mistress named “alcohol,” and her husband’s life-changing recovery. Written from a mother’s perspective, Sally celebrates her “carbon copy”—a son who lit up her world and produced her wonderful grandchildren. Suddenly both her husband and son were gone. Now what? Refusing to be a victim, Sally honors Lou and Michael by living the life they would want for her, a life full of “Bucket List” moments and new adventures. Sally chronicles the steps she took to blossom into the woman she is today. “My best friends weighed in and pre-eulogized me,” says Sally of this collaborative memoir. “But the true mission of Sit It Out Or Dance is to help others heal.” A sprinkling of faith, a dose of chutzpah and a positive mindset fill the pages. This must-read book is a testament that you, too, can find joy after deep loss. Follow along at www.sallygerth.com. The book is a wonderful resource for anyone facing the unthinkable.
