the cookie cure:
A Mother-Daughter Memoir
A Mother-Daughter Story of Cancer, Cookies & Choosing Joy
Told with heartfelt honesty, humor and warmth, The Cookie Cure is the true story of learning to carry on when life takes an unexpected turn — and discovering that some of the most meaningful chapters can begin in the moments you never would have chosen.
Just before college graduation, Susan Stachler was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma — the same cancer that had taken the life of her Aunt Susan at only twenty-eight. What followed was an unexpected journey through treatment, family, faith and resilience that ultimately led Susan and her mother, Laura, from cancer treatment to a cookie business born in their garage.
Written in Susan’s voice and uniquely woven with letters from Laura to her late sister, Sue, The Cookie Cure is a hopeful mother-daughter story about cancer, cookies, entrepreneurship and choosing joy when life doesn’t go according to plan.
At its heart, it is a reminder that we are often stronger than we realize — and that even the hardest seasons can lead somewhere meaningful.
“Life might not be perfect, but you can choose to be Unsnappable.”
