Local author Jim Morrison will talk about his book, "To See Another Sunrise," at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Community Library Network at Post Falls. The book tells the story of Morrison's courageous fight with and victory over cancer.
Post Falls library staff member Bobbi Whatcott invited him to speak because his book is a story of hope.
Morrison was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in 2004 as a result of being exposed to asbestos. Doctors gave him only two months to live, but he had other plans - he wanted to live long enough to give his daughter away in marriage. He did that in July 2004 and is now in remission.
Whatcott can identify with Morrison's story because she is a cancer survivor, too.
"Jim calls all survivors of cancer, 'warriors,' Whatcott said. "I think he calls us that because we each have had our own personal battle with the disease."
Those who have recently been diagnosed, or those who have fought the fight, should attend, she said.
There is no cost for the program and copies of the book will be available to purchase in support of the Friends of the Post Falls library. No registration is needed.
