His Place at the Table

His Place at the Table is about my son Emilio, his cancer diagnosis at three years old, and the rollercoaster ride my husband Richard and I traveled in the attempt to save Emilio's life. In an instant, upon hearing the profoundly painful words, "your child has cancer," we took a rapid plunge into the depths of Dante's inferno, with absolutely no idea how we would ever get through this nightmare. My book recounts the highs and lows with uncommon honesty. Although my unrelenting optimism and fortitude were challenged beyond limits, I show the reader that love can be a lifeline. I go back in time and speak to my later-in-life opportunity to find meaningful love, marriage, and motherhood. Richard and I were unwavering in our commitment to one another, as grief took us into unchartered territories. Ultimately, through our spiritual strength and the expansion of our "family" by establishing the Emilio Nares Foundation, we found ways to heal and transform our lives. Emilio's Legacy continues, as the little boy who inspired a movement.

,,Locul lui la masa" este despre fiul meu, Emilio, diagnosticul sau de cancer la varsta de trei ani si caruselul pe care eu si sotul meu, Richard, l-am parcurs in incercarea de a-i salva viata lui Emilio. Intr-o clipa, auzind cuvintele profund dureroase ,,copilul dumneavoastra are cancer", ne-am cufundat rapid in adancurile infernului lui Dante, fara sa avem absolut nicio idee cum vom trece vreodata prin acest cosmar.
