by Carolien van Leusden ✦ Review by David Lorimer, December 2009
A personal and inspiring account of how the author survived secondary breast cancer by combining conventional and complementary treatments, changing her diet and following spiritual guidance. As a nurse herself from a medical family, the story is well informed and is written as a diary so that the reader can appreciate the events as they unfold, sharing both the anguish and the breakthroughs at all levels, psychological, emotional, physical and spiritual. The lessons from the book are the perennial ones that we need to live in the present with courage and love, and also to be able to reach out for the support we need and which we can in turn give out.
