How do you go on when your world shatters twice?

When Stephen Policoff's adopted daughter Anna was four, a freak accident landed her in the ER. Seven months and countless tests later, the Mayo Clinic delivered a devastating diagnosis-Niemann-Pick Type C, a rare and fatal genetic illness; most children with it do not live past thirteen. As Anna's illness progressed, so did her buoyant personality and love for Broadway musicals, her younger sister, and song. Then tragedy struck again when Stephen's wife Kate was diagnosed with late-stage cancer, leaving Stephen to raise terminally ill Anna and her sister alone. At once heartbreaking and life-affirming, A Ribbon for Your Hair weaves together memoir, medical intrigue, dark humor, and deep tenderness. It is about what it means to endure, to remember, and to love.
