Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Novelist Cindy Daniel was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1994. Now she's on a mission to tell every breast cancer survivor - It's Not About You!

Ten years past the cancer, the devastating depression, and a miraculous turnaround, Cindy and Robin teamed up to write about their life-changing experiences, and the affects breast cancer had on their family. In addition to their personal insight, they enlist help from other young women who were in their teens at the time of their mother's diagnosis, and include a chapter from a psychologist who specializes in children's grief and anxiety.

With input from these extra resources, they are able to reach outside their own experience and offer the reader a more complete picture of hope and healing. A book they hope will provide support and resources for teenage girls who are helplessly fighting their mother's breast cancer battle.

From the Author

"No one prepared me for what my daughter would go through when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I spent over a year, and seven surgeries, trying to hang on to my life, to suddenly realize I was losing my daughter to fear and depression." Daniel says, "I can't tell you the right way for a family to deal with cancer. And, honestly, I don't know if there is one correct answer for everyone. But I do know that I didn't get it right.

Once I was diagnosed with cancer, my daughter's life was never the same."

More About the Author

Right now I'm hard at work on my next Oprah's Book Club / best-selling mystery series. (okay, yeah, I'm still working on my first...)

So, by now you've figured out I'm a writer. I've written the Death Warmed Over mysteries series; I co-authored a non-fiction account of my breast cancer experience with my daugher Robin; and I'm working on a new romantic mystery series. Well, I should be working on it...

And...I edited/published two children's books for my sister in law Beverly Daniel: "Too Many Cats in the Bed" released September 2009 and "A Rainbow of Kittens" released February 2011.

MY own children's book "Pete Goes to Brat Camp" will be released by Batelier Publishing in May 2011.

I'm also a Past President of Mystery Writers of America / Southwest Chapter
and Past President of Sisters in Crime / Internet Chapter.
