In Danielle, the author invites readers into an intimate journey through the life of her seven-year-old daughter, who courageously battled cancer. Far from being just a heartbreaking narrative, this true story illuminates the transformative power of suffering when united with faith. Danielle, with her extraordinary spiritual maturity, finds strength and inspiration from her favorite saint, St. Therese of Lisieux, while navigating the complexities of illness.

This book transcends the usual narratives of tragedy and loss by offering a message of hope and grace. Through sharing the family’s experience – Danielle’s remarkable perspective on life, her deep relationship with God, and her steadfast resilience – the author aims to reveal the beauty that can be found even in immense suffering. Danielle serves as a poignant reminder that life’s hardships and joys are both cradled in the hands of God, and it challenges us to embrace them as such.

As a mother of nine children and many grandchildren, Myra J. Martinez, has much experience in the challenges of motherhood. She has also endured much suffering with her oldest child’s childhood cancer while raising a large family. She enjoys cooking, spending time with and entertaining her large family. She has also taken her experience to the Gospel of Life Disciples, where she spends time loving, comforting, ministering, and praying with those who are dying. She lives in Oklahoma, married to her grade school sweetheart, Philip, and their growing family.

    In "Danielle A Story of Surrender and Trust" the author reveals the beauty of her soul and that of her daughter as they endure great suffering. The entire family seems to bond closer together rather than grow apart. This book enlightened me to the mercy and graces that God gives us especially in our sufferings. I highly recommend experiencing this true story and allowing it to deepen your faith.

  • The cross one bares. A must-read story of faith, hope and love.

    Generally, the books I read are those of Mystery, Supernatural, and occasional Non-Fiction. But occasionally, a must-read book like "Danielle: A Story of Surrender and Trust" by Myra J. Martinez comes into your life. It is the story of Danielle, her seven-year-old daughter, who lost her life to cancer while remaining courageous and finding solace in her faith and her favorite Saints. The book is excellently written; the author expertly shares Danielle's enlightenment in suffering while remaining firm in her faith. There were moments when I had to put the book down to allow my tears to dry. Even if you are not religious or spiritual, I highly recommend this book. Danielle and her family share how the love of God and the strength in one's faith can get you through challenging times. Disclaimer: I grew up across the street from the author while attending Mount Saint Mary's High School. Myra, Phillip, and family thank you for sharing such an intimate story.
