From the author “Fighting for King David” – a heart-wrenching memoir about a mother who joins her one-year-old in his battle against pediatric cancer – comes “Residue of War: Testimonies of Mothers who Fought and Won Battles on Behalf of Their Children.” Christina Johnson delivers an anthology of stories from mothers who have overcome the seemingly insurmountable. Their accounts cover a variety of topics – all connected by coping with adversity and the importance of love and perseverance in conquering daunting family challenges. “Residue” is sure to move many mothers who suffer in silence as they deal with life’s hardships and the related scars that haunt them throughout their lives. The emotional journeys detailed in “Residue” are powerful and provocative, delivered in a candor that is tear-jerking and inspirational. The objective of this anthology is to offer hope to mothers who see themselves as alone in their efforts to deal with traumatic situations and let them know that so many other mothers have fought and overcome similar struggles.
