May is Cystic Fibrosis Awareness Month, and nothing seems more appropriate than to give away the touching memoir, "Sixtyfive Roses", by Heather Summerhayes Cariou. This book chronicles the relationship between Heather and her sister, Pam, who was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis at age four, and the journey their family went through. Heather's parents went on to start the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and with the effort for research and new treatments, Pam was given years to live instead of months.
Many celebrities are a fan of this read, including Celine Dion who wrote the foreword and Eva Longoria Parker who has optioned the film rights.
Five percent of the proceeds from book sales go to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

I am very interested in reading this book. The author contacted me a long while back and offered to send me a review copy but it never arrived! Hope I win!
