5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Inspiration for (dollar amount)? You bet!, November 16, 2001

This review is from: Portraits of Courage - Voices of Hope, A Photographic Essay of Breast Cancer Survivors (Paperback)

When you learn that you have cancer, it's very hard to focus you mind on the future. Every minute of the day you find yourself obsessively thinking through all of the "what if" scenarios. Portraits of Courage - Voices of Hope helps you get beyond the next minute of doubt by telling the stories of courageous survivors and how they made it through their challenges. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who is personally dealing with breast cancer and to their loved ones and friends. It will give you hope!
