Eighteen Months A L Simons

Now into its third edition: EIGHTEEN MONTHS- A LOVE STORY INTERRUPTED is not a work of fiction. The characters are based on real people and the content is true to its original intentions. It is about the life of two Canadians, Sharon and Charlie, who knew each other for just a mere eighteen months. Together they travel on a daunting journey. It is a story of humour, compassion, fear, support, love, anger and utter frustration, culminating in death and many unanswered questions. It is also a story of a human relationship that testifies to the strength and will of both the terminally ill patient and her partner as he comes to accept her illness and the short period of time they will spend together. Much has been written for women by women on the subject of breast cancer. This story is written from a man's perspective, of the author's fleeting relationship, with his partner.
