Hot Tea & Apricots

How would you cope, suddenly not being able to talk, in a world that only knows how to communicate through speech? This story explores one woman's journey through this uncharted territory and her eventual victory through tenacity and faith.

Kim Ballantine’s profound and poignant description of her remarkable journey with voice loss and cancer is a humbling tribute to the resilience of the human spirit, the love of family and the faithfulness of God. Hot Tea and Apricots speaks directly to the courage center in each of us, calling us to stand in faith and trusting that God who sees what we cannot, is already lighting the path ahead even in the darkest of times. This book is for anyone of any gender, ethnicity or creed who is seeking a pathway to their own courage, through unthinkable pain, towards victory.

As heartbreaking, raw and painfully honest – and at times darkly humorous – as the memoir is, Hot Tea and Apricots is a triumphant story of hope and holding onto life.

"A vulnerable and beautifully penned account of the power of family, friendship and faith in the face of unbelievable odds. Kim recounts her experiences masterfully, the severity of her situation balanced with incredible wit and humour. It is an unputdownable, jaw-dropping, love-filled read that will challenge, inspire and uplift you."
Nikki Bush, Award-winning Speaker and Best-selling Author
"For every person out there, who has suffered an inexplicable health trauma, this one is for you. I loved and feared this book because it resonated so strongly with me; its pages echoing weeks after completion. It is an honour to have read her story,"
Laura Bergh, Chief Enabler, The Greenlight Office I care about.
