When Keith is diagnosed with cancer, doctors give him only two months to live but instead of succumbing quietly to the same ailment that has taken others before him, Keith takes it upon himself to learn everything he can about this cancer to beat it. His efforts yield incredible results. Even though he does not prevent his inevitable demise, he outlasts even the most optimistic projections by not weeks or months but eleven whole years. Throughout this journey, his loving wife stood by his side and chronicled his progress until his final days. Maryla Mary Storm's 11 Years is their story of perseverance and belief in the face of overwhelming odds.

Maryla Mary Storm's story is emotional and uplifting. She details the noteworthy points of their struggle and inserts the most impressive sections of her late husband's journal into the account, giving us a personal view of one man's battle with cancer. Her references to afterlife events that transpired after Keith's passing sound almost unbelievable, but when you consider her miraculous experiences at the hospital, you will be persuaded to take a second look at her accounts. It is worthwhile to note the importance dancing played in the evolution of their marriage, and Storm doesn't hesitate to highlight this at every opportunity. An inspirational story, 11 Years is for those with loved ones coping with terminal ailments and offers a light at the end of the tunnel.
