 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.
