"In the book "Walking on Eggshells," Amy Sales provides a great service, not only for the patients and their families, but for health care providers as well. There are so many issues surrounding life-threatening diseases and surrounding the process of dying that simply are not thought about ahead of time, creating undue anguish. This book provides the preparation and knowledge needed to weather the emotional storm of grief associated with medical conditions. I highly recommend it."
Benjamin Carson, Sr., MD, Johns Hopkins Hospital
