Charlotte author John Cunningham recently published a non-fiction book, “My Girls”. His story of believing he had everything in life and then realizing he didn’t, until he met his wife and his daughter came into the world.

Ellie Shoal Potvin, a precious child known for “Specializing in being Kind” at only 6 years of age, Ellie was diagnosed July 2, 2008 with a rare childhood cancer called Stage 4 Rhabdomyosarcoma. To her parents shock they learned only 3% of children in the United States have this type of rare pediatric cancer. Out of the 350 children total diagnosed per year, only 175 children have a survival rate past 5 years. The Potvin family is devastated by this crushing prognosis, yet have promised not stop fighting the odds till their precious twin daughter, Ellie, is cured of all cancer.

John is having a book signing at the Borders at Stonecrest from 12PM-2PM this Saturday, November 21st.
