For me, this was not just another book about a woman who got cancer. Many portions of the book could have been written by me, about me. She talked about real feelings and emotions, and not just humorous ways to make it through. I had a double mastectomy, and found I couldn't put the book down - it helped me understand and justify my own feelings. I would highly recommend for any woman who may be facing the same issues.

I have had a mastectomy and found her account of what she felt and went through was very similar to my experience. It was something I could relate to, and she put all in perspective. I found it a great read.
