“You would think that every observation, every reflection, would have been written by now about breast cancer.
But this gift of a book, created by two bosom friends, shares both their fresh, accessible poetry,
and the thoughtful entries of a meditative, hopeful, yet realistic blog. Read it to bolster your spirit.
Or give it to someone who understands.”

~Karin ß. Miller, The Cancer Poetry Project


"This compassionate diary of the abiding friendship between two woman during the illness of one, is without a
doubt one of the most inspirational, honest, and beautifully written works I've ever read on the subject of breast
cancer."
