|summary=Emma creates a perfect world in her imagination as a way to cope with the diagnosis that she has an incurable tumour and may not have long to live.
|cover=Brooke_Another
Given the subject matter, ''Another Way to Fall'' has a deeply emotive storyline and I would challenge anyone to read it and not feel the prickling of tears before reaching the end. The book had added poignancy given the fact that Brooke wrote it in memory of her son, who died of leukaemia. It couldn’t have been an easy book for her to write, but her personal experience undoubtedly gives the characters greater depth. This is not a book about death. It is a poignant and moving celebration of life and learning to appreciate one’s blessings.
For another poignant but uplifting read about coping with cancer, try [[A November to Remember by Taryn McKeiver]]. We also have a review of Brooke's [[The Child's Secret by Amanda Brooke|The Child's Secret]].
