Lemons and Ladybugs: Part II

Lemons and Ladybugs: Part II

"It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game." Growing up on the baseball diamond, Kevin Speier must’ve heard that saying a thousand times, but he couldn’t fully get behind it. He hated– hated –to lose. So when cancer came for Kev, at age thirty-two, his competitive spirit came out swinging. Surgery, radiation, chemotherapy…he could handle anything and everything that was thrown at him. Until he couldn’t. Lemons and Ladybugs: Part II is a story about what it means to still win after you've already struck out. Kevin’s wife Angel spent sixteen long, brutal months not only caring for him, but chronicling their saga online. Desperate to make something good from the bad, she enlists the help of her cousin, Mike–a screenwriter turned novelist–to help her tell it. Uplifting, heartbreaking, and occasionally hilarious, this gripping conclusion reminds us what truly matters in the end. Since Kevin can’t speak for himself, everyone else has to step up to the plate, to carry his memory home.
