Have you ever questioned why you continue to work at a job which offers more struggles than benefits? Working in a children's hospital has been rewarding for a young female pharmacy technician. She has witnessed many miracles, to which she contributed personally. But when Justin, a young toddler, is in and out of the hospital for 4 years, and the end is not a happily ever after, the pharmacy technician begins to question her career choice and purposes until she meets a night school classmate, Tom, and hears his story. Sometimes an answer to "What is your purpose in life, and is it worth it?" comes when you least expect it to, and without warning.

Being Answered by Kathi M. Nidd is a heartfelt short story that introduces readers to the concepts of cancer, struggle, courage, self-perseverance, self-doubt, and purpose. Author Kathi M. Nidd gives readers a unique look into the perspective of a child, an adult, and a health care worker dealing with the situation of cancer. A reader can expect to gain knowledge of what a child might be feeling, what a healthcare worker may struggle with, and what an adult may be thankful for as each one has their own story concerning cancer. Being Answered by Kathi M. Nidd is written very well, and is very comprehensible, thus allowing the reader to relate to two of the most often asked questions, “What is my purpose in life, and is it worth me doing it?” Although short, the story is filled with compassion, knowledge, and insight, and is a genuine story for all types of readers.
