Getting Things Off My Chest is winner of the 2014 International Book Award for Cancer Topics
Now a multiple Award Winning Book on Cancer Health! So honored!
Getting Things Off Mt Chest is Winner of the 2014 USA Best Book Award for Cancer Topics
What an honor for a first book to receive two national book awards! My goal with this book was to help women stay focused and confident at a time when it feels like cancer is taking over their lives. Winning these awards is bittersweet: It took having breast cancer myself and losing a dear friend to cancer to give me the experience and inspiration to write Getting Things Off My Chest,” I am continually touched by the thank you letters from the women who have read my book. Knowing my book is helping women and boosting their self esteem at a critical time is the ultimate reward. Now if we can just find a cure for breast cancer!
