"Reaching for Mommy" is a heart-wrenching yet inspiring story of Ebony, who struggled to cope with the
loss of her mother, Serena, to lung cancer. Unbeknownst to Ebony, her mother had hidden her illness to
protect her innocence. After Serena's death, Ebony numbed herself to the pain of her grief but realized the
impact of her mother's death on those around her, especially her grandmother Lynn. Ebony turned to
education to honor her mother's memory and later dedicated herself to fighting cancer and helping patients
who suffer from similar illnesses as her mother. Through her journey, Ebony learns the power of love, family,
and resilience in overcoming life's toughest challenges.
