Preface of my Latest Book

Cancer made me an Orphan: A Memoir

Cancer made me an Orphan

I don't know how or what to write; it's hard to describe the emotion of losing your mother and father at an early age. My hope to live a normal life vanished when I saw their suffering for so long until the futile end. I lost interest in getting jobs and developing a stable career.
