WSJ Columnist Cites John Anderson's Book as One of Year's Best

Laura Landro, a columnist with the Wall Street Journal, has cited (here) Roanoker John Anderson's book Stand By Her as one her Best of 2009 selections. Anderson's book presents methods to help support cancer patients in the family. Four women in his life (wife, mother, sister, mother's best friend) all had cancer and the book is based on his experiences with them.
