5.0 out of 5 stars Most Excellent Book!!!, December 5, 2006

By	Donald M. Burrows "Husband" (Marysville, WA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My wife was diagnosed with breast cancer two and a half years ago. While she was waging her own war, we had the good fortune of not only reading Wendi's most excellent and uplifting book, but of meeting her as well, and of following her progress as she courageously faces her reality. If you or someone you love is facing this horrorible disease and need to hear the words of hope and help from a modern-day heroine who does not sugar-coat anything, please please please read and re-read this book.
