Living in this economy is not easy. Staying fit and healthy is always a challenge. Life gets busier with each passing day and never seems to slow down. We don’t always appreciate obstacles, but what happens when you make a routine doctor’s visit and are told you have two to three years to live?
In Sandra Lesher Stuban’s new book, The Butcher’s Daughter: The Story of an Army Nurse with ALS, the author shares exactly how she handled such shocking news. This inspirational memoir discusses Stuban’s happy childhood, productive career as a military officer, and her life-altering diagnosis of Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
Once strong and physically fit, Stuban quickly became a ventilator dependent quadriplegic. In this book, she shares her journey of progressive paralysis while offering hope and insight into living with a disability. Having turned her two to three years to live into fourteen and counting, Stuban shares her perspective on the importance of family, friends and having a survivor’s attitude in challenging times.
Sandra Lesher Stuban grew up in Elizabethville, Pennsylvania and received her nursing degree from the University of Pennsylvania. During a career as an Army nurse, she was diagnosed with ALS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and medically retired. She now resides in Fairfax, Virginia with her husband and son.
