In the summer of 1973, it appears as if Pep Bailey's stars have aligned. She's been already blessed with five healthy children, in-laws who adore her, and wealthy parents who live to spoil her; yet, when she convinces her husband Johnny to stretch their budget and purchase a fixer-upper in an affluent Chicago suburb, her dreams are fulfilled. Things just keep getting better when she finds a Catholic parish that's compatible with her modern beliefs and two irreverent girlfriends - Margaret and Francie - who keep her laughing. With her days now filled with kaffeeklatsches and home-improvement projects, Pep finds little time to fuss about the lump she's been neglecting for months.
Breast cancer isn't even on Pep's radar when she sees the doctor; after all, she's only 36 - way too young to suspect such a devastating diagnosis. In that moment, Pep's priorities shift from stripping wallpaper to doing everything she can to save her life for the sake of her children.
Of course, surgery and chemo are part of her battle plan, but when a young doctor helps Pep find her inner POWER, she finds a new sense of hope. Pep must now do everything within a mother's power to set her kids up for success should the unthinkable happen, because the reality is, the unthinkable is always a possibility.
A tribute to the strength and grace required when fighting breast cancer, A Mother's Power is a moving story of how love, friendship, and family can impact the lives of those fighting the fight.
