Other people have told us they spent weeks and months depressed, angrily asking, 'Why me?' Junior's reaction was, 'Why not me?' When otherwise-healthy Luther 'Junior' Marze was diagnosed with throat cancer after his sixtieth birthday, he and his wife Elaine couldn't believe the news. They could believe that God had a plan for them, no matter what happened. Refusing to sink into despair, Junior kept to his normal vigorous activities while undergoing brutal treatments that would have crippled most people. Enduring radiation, skin grafts, and the loss of Junior's voice, the couple managed to maintain their sense of humor and hope as they trusted God, even as they acknowledged that his answer to their prayers for healing could be 'no.' In Hello, Darling, Elaine tells the story of Junior's strength and optimistic attitude through his trial with cancer. Whether touched by cancer or not, readers will find Elaine and Junior's story full of hope, heart, and faith.
