Description

When twenty-two-year-old Susan Stachler was diagnosed with cancer, her mother, Laura, was heartbroken: the same illness that took her sister's life was threatening to take her daughter's too. When they discovered that Laura's homemade ginger cookies soothed the side effects of Susan's chemo, the mother-daughter duo opened Susansnaps and shared them with the world. Told with admirable grace and infinite hope, The Cookie Cure is about more than baked goods and cancer it's about fighting for your life and for your dreams.

"Susan and Laura Stachler's story is as heartwarming as a plate of warm cookies. More than a cancer survival story, this is the beautiful tale of two tough cookies who built a successful business on grit, determination, and love. I was rooting for them both, and you will too." - Teresa Rhyne, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"A sweet story of a strong-willed mother-daughter combo team who stood up to cancer and created a thriving business in the process.
