Stronger Together: How We're Living While Fighting

Description

For the first time, Nolan sisters Anne and Linda open about their devastating cancer diagnosis in this heartbreaking, honest and optimistic story of survival, family and love, for readers of Denise Welch and Coleen Nolan "It's ok to be scared, to feel lonely... we'll get through it, because we have to." For more than 40 years Linda and Anne have performed side by side as members of iconic Irish girl group The Nolans. But in 2020 the sisters sat next to each other for a very different experience. Soon after returning home from filming their hit TV series The Nolans Go Cruising, with their sisters Coleen and Maureen, Linda and Anne received devastating cancer diagnoses within days of each other and soon began gruelling rounds of chemotherapy together. It was a stark reminder of how cruel life can be and, of course, of their beloved sister Bernie, who also faced and lost the same battle. Stronger Together is Linda and Anne's story. A reflection on their close-knit relationship, in the limelight and behind the scenes, and of how family helped them hold it all together when things got tough. Deeply personal, incredibly moving and told with trademark humour, it's a story they hope will help you too.
