Walks on the Beach with Angie: A Fathers Story of Love describes the authors relationship with his beloved daughter, Angela, who had cystic fibrosis. Don Warner and his wife, Linda, did everything they could to give their only child immeasurable love and the fullest life possible, all the while carrying out an aggressive treatment regimen to fight her fatal disease. Until she was nineteen this honor student and cheerleader with a radiant personality kept the secret of her illness from her friends and the boys she dated. Carrying out multiple daily therapies and treatments with a quiet grace, Angie did not ask for or expect special attention or sympathy. During the final eighty-six days of her life, as Angie lies in an intensive care unit on a ventilator, the Warners are surrounded by loved ones, and a supportive extended family of kindred spirits they met in the hospital Family Room. The devastating loss and overwhelming grief Don and his wife experience prompts him to search for meaning in his daughters death and ignites a powerful desire to create a lasting legacy in her honor.
