About The Book

Journey beyond the diagnosis with cancer to explore loving your family through terminal illness, while also navigating the path of grief in loss.

When Jerry Pierson discovered his late wife Carrie’s college journal, he found more than youthful dreams and private reflections. He found the spark that would become this deeply personal tribute—a blend of her words and his own memories that paints a moving portrait of their life together. 

Through Carrie’s voice, we meet a vibrant, courageous woman who faced cancer with strength, laughter, and an undiminished spirit.

Honest, raw, and deeply human, this is a love story woven through the hardest of times, told with grace, humor, and unwavering devotion.

Carrie’s Journal is a true testament to love in its most enduring form.

With the exploration of the joys of life and the trials that come with a loved one lost to cancer, Carrie’s Journal becomes a guidebook for the millions of caregivers who feel isolated in their heartbreak.
