The moving story of Nancy Brinker and her journey to create a world without breast cancer. It chronicles the sad and painful loss of Suzy, her sister, and the evolution of the Komen Foundation from a handful of volunteers in Nancy Brinker's living room to a multi-million dollar international foundation. But this book is so much more. It is a "comforting friend" for every woman who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or who fears she might be- it is a survival guide filled with the latest breast cancer prevention, detection and treatment information in an east-to-read style, packed with Nancy's own "take charge of your life" insights culled from more than two decades of patient advocacy.
