This true love story follows Lars and Amanda, two twenty-somethings who fall deeply in love, with big plans for their future together, only to have the rug pulled out from beneath them when Lars is diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at age 24. They must learn to adapt to "medical life", putting their hopes and dreams on pause, navigating side effects and difficult emotions, and missing out on the beauty of every day moments that some may take for granted. With a compassionate support system of family, friends, and community, and the added benefit of an optimistic and humorous personality, Lars is able to keep his head above water--but not without a constant shifting of the tides, as cancer refuses to loosen its grip on his body. Read on to learn of the resilience of a couple who weren't willing to allow cancer to destroy the life they envisioned, and the community of people that held them up and loved them every step of the way. "Cancer is so limited... It cannot cripple love, it cannot shatter hope, it cannot corrode faith, it cannot destroy peace, it cannot kill friendship, it cannot suppress memories, it cannot silence courage, it cannot invade the soul, it cannot steal eternal life; it cannot conquer the spirit." -"What Cancer Cannot Do", Author Unknown
