About this title

From Library Journal

Four friends diagnosed with breast cancer believe that the language of spiritual growth is more a complement to their lives than that of the battleground, the traditional words used when discussing cancer. Kuner is a meditation teacher and Sufi student; author Carol Matzkin Orsborn (Return from Exile: One Woman's Journey Back to Judaism) is Jewish; Linda Quigley is a journalist and follower of the 12-step path; and Rev. Dr. Karen Leigh Stroup is a Christian minister. The multivoiced reading by four professional narrators doesn't mince words about diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, recurrence, and death. Breaking down the cancer journey into five sections--impact, chaos, choices, community, and spirit--the authors wish to increase their connection to God (often referred to as She) through deepening humility. Women should "find their own path through illness as a spiritual initiation rather than a war." Their words and spirits will bolster any woman coming to the same crossroad in her life. Highly recommended.
