This book has been on my tbr since I got diagnosed with Cowden syndrome, a rare genetic mutation that makes me more prone to developing a variety of cancers including breast cancer. My whole body was demanding to pick this up and read it now, and I read it in a day. It was heartwrenchingly open and everything I needed.

"I was going to die, if not sooner then later, whether or not I had ever spoken myself. My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you.”

emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

Thought provoking and comforting, especially coming from a high risk family of breast cancer.

A book I’ll keep to re-read when I feel like I need the perspective again.
