Daydreams and Diaries: A Young Woman’s Battle with Cancer

July 25, 2011 - PRLog -- San Francisco, Calif.; For Taylor Black, that Friday night was like any other in her senior year in high school until she blacked out in the shower. Her mom rushed her to the emergency room and into another life: one of brain scans and surgeries, chemotherapy, 60 Minutes, hospitals and hospice.

Taylor kept a diary throughout her ordeal as she tried to live as normal a life as possible. DAYDREAMS AND DIARIES details the roller-coaster ride which is cancer and how Taylor coped as a patient and grew as a person, changing from an insecure high school girl to a courageous young woman.

Her spirit attracted the cameras of CBS and the attention of Ed Bradley who called her “amazing.” Twenty-seven million people saw her on 60 Minutes, but CBS couldn’t tell Taylor’s whole story, for she was far more than a cancer patient; she was a beloved daughter, sister and friend who showed, as a noted author once wrote: “grace under pressure.”

Taylor’s father, Tim Black, brings a father’s memories of Taylor at different points in her life, helping to complete the portrait of a remarkable young woman who was the inspiration for so many.
