Reviews:
I found your book today while I was shopping for a gift for my
niece. It always amazes me how the right things come to you when you
need them, if you pay attention. I really needed your book today, and I
sat down and read it cover to cover. I am truly inspired by what you
have written. Thanks for sharing your journey with me. It will be of
such help to anyone who is stricken and and all those who will go through this dreadful disease with them.

Anita's honesty, spunk and no-holds-barred revelations make this
book a quick, insighful read. Anita proves breast cancer is not just an
issue for women; it's a family issue. A must-read for women and the men
who love them.

Breastless But Still Breathing is an amazing
testimonial to the fact that having cancer can bring a renewed sense of
faith, hope, strength, and stronger bonds with family and friends.
Anita's book proves there is a silver lining: something wonderful can
come from a horrible experience. As a cancer survivor myself, I cannot
thank her enough for saying what I truly believe: we must not look
back, only forward, and our mission is to help others truly understand.

An endearing story.
Readers will connect with Anita on what it's like to live with a breast
cancer diagnosis. Her honesty, humor, determination, and zest for life
will surely touch your heart. Thank you for sharing your story and
offering hope to those affected with breast cancer.

I cannot tell you how much this book meant to me. I HATE that it's a
true story, but thank you, Anita, for writing it. I know it will help
countless others cope with the beast called breast cancer. You are one
HELL of a courageous woman!
