“Last year on St. Patrick’s Day,” Martin, says “my granddaughter Clara— Keira’s younger sister — was diagnosed with terminal brain Cancer. Since that day, we’ve watched Clara withstand aggressive radiation, invasive brain surgery and months of highly toxic chemotherapy with an attitude that redefines the word ‘courage.’ Keira and I wrote Super Clara: A Young Girl’s Story of Cancer, Bravery and Courage to honor that courage, and to show other children who may be going through something similar that they, too, can find their courage.”
