Through A Daughter's Eyes: Forty-Nine Years as Her Child; Forty-Nine Days as Her Caregiver.

What do you do if you€re battling doctors while dealing with your intimidating, doctor-hating, 73 year-old mother who was just diagnosed with stage-four cancer? How about opening up a bottle of Kahula and mixing it with a gallon of vanilla ice cream? THROUGH A DAUGHTER€S EYES shares the funny, yet emotional, roller coaster ride 49 year-old Natalie faced while caught in the wake of her terminally ill, obstinate mother who is in denial of her condition. Natalie€s conflict with her mother is matched by her battles with medical professionals who insist on performing tests that do more harm than good on her ill mother. Natalie ultimately resolves to channel Opal Jean€s bulldog personality to protect her mother€s dignity the cancer so wants to take away. By doing so, Natalie finally understands Opal Jean and discovers it€s okay to feel what you feel. The result is a story of a mother and daughter, filled with laughter, wisdom, and courage, that defines them both€¦through a daughter€s eyes.
