Customer Reviews

"An outstanding book about the diagnosis and victorious outcome of beating breast cancer. Down to Earth, and helps a child understand real life a little better. An absolute must have! Can also relate to other medical battles."

Tom
"I am so very proud of my daughter, Adrianna! Her magnificent illustrations made my story come alive! She is a dedicated artist and compassionate young lady. We both hope that this book provides some inspiration and determination for anyone who is facing adversity."

Jen
"I was witness to my daughter's courageously optimistic mindset pertaining to her devastating and difficult breast cancer journey. From the moment her physician spoke the dreaded words, ""it's malignant"" and throughout her entire ordeal, up until today, (not quite a year since her bilateral mastectomy surgery), she has maintained her humor, her strength and her amazing ability to cope with the seriousness of this disease with an ease that she summoned from a place deep within her. By doing so, she somehow managed to lessen the impact on her family, her friends and those close to her. Proudly so, I am the mother of this young woman who has a gift to encourage and lift all the women that walk beside her and follow after her. My eleven year old grandaughter, Adrianna, provides the uplifting, imaginative and comparatively inspirational illustrations so that the reader is able to see the bright side to her mother's diagnosis. ? Jennifer?s Mom -"

Loved this book! Such a positive message with beautiful illustrations!

Jennifer
To think anything less than beautiful would be a crime; a family crime, and done unto me also since we're literally twins! I love you Cuzz and hadn't a clue you've written a book, and with your daughter nonetheless. When I was done with the book, everything made sense! This book should be on Amazon.
