Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
Five of the women in this book did not live long enough to see its publication.
Through its moving profiles and photographs, BODY & SOUL connects readers with seventy photos of women whose inner strength heightens their outer beauty. Capturing moments of laughter and joy, attitude and pride, determination and dignity, the book provides an inspiring and original look at a critically important concern for millions of women.
From the Author
"I have to say that the women with whom I’ve laughed and cried and whose portraits appear in this book have left me feeling incredibly proud to be a woman. I am in awe of every single one of them. It is my profound hope that these photos reveal to all, the beauty, power, and life-affirming spirit that I saw through the camera’s lens. I offer special thanks to the women whose pictures grace these pages for sharing my journey and for setting a fine example for me and for all of our daughters and sons, partners and friends."

An Uplifting & Beautiful Book!,

This review is from: Body and Soul: The Courage and Beauty of Breast Cancer Survivors (Hardcover)
Ms. Karotkin's powerful photographs truly capture the spirit of her subjects, whose stories of coping with breast cancer are told through brief vignettes. This is an inspiring, provocative book that challenges American ideals of physical perfection and redefines what it means to be beautiful. I imagine "Body & Soul" will resonate with anyone who has either experienced breast-cancer first-hand or known someone who has; but I hope that all those teenage girls who aren't happy with their bodies will also read this book and take its message to heart.
