Summary: I think it is an extremely important book
Review: I read it almost in one sitting. I literally could not put it down. The book was extremely well written and very easy to read. Its content was powerful, honest and informative. It moved with grace from one chapter to the next and never became bogged down in detail or data. From the perspective of a mother who has had breast cancer, it was painful to see, in black and white, so many of the issues that my daughters have had to face. I think any mother and daughter who have had an experience with prolonged and serious illness of the mother, would greatly benefit from reading your book. In fact, I was so impressed with its content that I am going to buy three extra copies and give one to each of my girls. I think it will help them to better understand their experiences, their feelings, and their behaviors during my many illnesses. I hope it will help them with the confusion, rage and guilt that I know has often assailed them. From the perspective of a breast cancer survivor, who was also a daughter, niece and cousin of women with ovarian cancer, I thought your final chapters contained incredibly important information. I know they would have helped me fifteen years ago. I would recommend it, and will do so, to anyone.

Summary: gift to my two daughters
Review: My daughters were both happy to read their copy of the book. Each took with them different portions that were helpful. My oldest daughter plans on giving the book to one of her students who is now 15 and going through a similar experience with her mother. My youngest, said she was greatly helped by the book. Thank you so much. Carolyn

Summary: Helping to cope with Cancer
Review: Wow, I wish this book had been available when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1975 when I was ten years old. Her struggle lasted until 1988 when I was 23 and she passed away. This book not only helped me come to terms with my mothers passing and my feelings, but helped when my mother-in-law was diagnosed with lung cancer and my father was diagnosed with pancrease and liver cancer within 6 months of each other. I was the primary care for all three of them and took care of them along with hospiac up until their deaths. I now refer this book to anyone dealing with cancer of any kind, sometimes I will even buy it and give it to the person. Every single person I have referred or given this book to has said that they feel much better and are able to deal with life. They in turn refer the book to people they know.My thanks and appreciation to the author for placing these stories into a book.
