Description
This book is a wonderful collection of stories from 123 women and men whose lives have been affected by breast cancer.
There are all kinds of stories in this book. I am certain that something here will resonate with every reader.
For some of the stories I should probably issue a "tissue warning", and for others a "laughter warning", just Depends - yes, the pun IS intended!!
There are stories that will warm your heart; make you laugh; cause you to pause for reflection; and others that simply tell a story of a courageous journey through life.
