A Celebration of Healing is an art book, a book of stories bringing encouragement
and confidence to those impacted by breast cancer and other serious
illness. It is neither a cancer “how to” guide nor a Hallmark card –
rather a book giving permission to laugh, to cry, rage and to know one is not
alone. The twenty-one paintings and narratives build bridges between the
physical and emotional needs of patients, families, friends and the medical
community. They
become a part of the healing.
A Celebration of Healing includes a wide range of breast cancer
experiences and demographics. Reader after reader, including those with
different kinds of cancer, have commented I
wish I’d had this book when diagnosed. These are my stories, my
stories! Others have
suggested A stack of Celebration
should be in every doctor’s waiting room.
