"Who needs a pit when you've got Connie playing piano for you?" The implication being she has energy and talent of a full orchestral pit. And no one in the audience disagreed.
Certain names are known in certain communities, and in the Pennsylvania community I grew up in, Connie Pawling Young was one of those names. Her daughter, Tricia, was also a hometown hero.
Our town (as many small towns do) had a "Harvest Festival." Streets were closed. There was a parade, booths. Pies, sloppy joes, lemonade... They also had a Princess Pageant. We went to church with Tricia's grandma, and I remember feeling it was a great injustice when she didn't win. (For the record, I was a young kid at the time, and she was the only candidate I knew.) The pageant contestants would walk on the stage, while the M.C. read their bio. I remember the line, "I'm what some might consider a musical jock." And she was. I think she was the lead in Once Upon A Mattress, and her name still hangs on a basketball banner because she made the thousand point club - by scoring over TWO thousand points.
And she couldn't have become such a talented person without her mom, Connie. Connie built up the reputation of the Theater program in a neighboring school. And she was loved not just in that school, but the ones around it as well. The shows would be on separate weekends, and a lot of the kids from our school went to other schools for fun and support. It is insane how much students connect with music teachers. The best music teachers understand kids, how to motivate them, and how to create something magical. I've seen this at a lot of schools.
So, seeing the title of the book, "Cancer on Monday, Dead on Tuesday" was little jarring. Moving away from Pennsylvania, I've lost contact with a lot of people, and this was no exception. In a way, getting and reading the book was a way of catching up.
And it was a good book, with chapters alternating between the present trials of cancer/death/healing and the Tricia's familial trials that brought her to that point. Throughout, it's evident her faith gave her strength, and she credits God for the healing.
Tricia also credits a nutrition supplement, which at times made the book feel a bit like a commercial. But when you believe in something, you promote it, and she believes in God and her nutrition products. So why not let people know?

Amazingly good read
Tricia did an amazing job telling her moms story and also telling her own store. Giving God the glory the entire time. Highly recommend this book.

An incredible (and true!) story! Wonderful to read the details of this part of the life of a woman who has greatly impacted my life. I gave 3 stars because I don't think the book itself is particularly well written. But a great account nonetheless!
