Jamie’s Journey: Cancer from the Voice of a Sibling by Sharon Wozny
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, his or her siblings may struggle with complex emotions such as confusion, guilt, and fear. Part story, part journal, Jamie s Journey: Cancer from the Voice of a Sibling helps siblings of pediatric cancer patients cope with those intense feelings. The first half of the book is about 13-year-old Jamie who describes the roller coaster of emotions she experiences when her 10-year-old sister, Jordan, is diagnosed with cancer. Jamie laments the loss of her normal teenage life and describes feeling forgotten as her family focuses on Jordan s medical needs. Jamie finds solace through journaling about her experience, and encourages the reader to write about his or her own journey on the pages provided in the book. Jamie’s Journey is unique in that it’s designed especially for the siblings of pediatric cancer patients.
