    Highly Recommended - A must read!

    This book gives readers an insight into Becky's journey from diagnosis, through surgery, and treatment. She gives a glimpse into the effect that this diagnosis had on her as a woman, wife, and mother. Reading her story makes you appreciate how fragile life is, how it should be appreciated every day and lived to its fullest, as well as how having a sense of humor can help you through the rough times. Well written and highly recommended!

    Must Read

    WoW! Becky takes you through her journey battling breast cancer. You will follow her from moment of diagnosis, thru treatments and to the day she knocked cancer out! Cancer may have taken the first punch...but Becky took the last. This book is like a "What to expect when you're expecting".....Breast Cancer edition. You'll laugh! You'll cry! One of the best books I've read in a long, long time!

    Highly Recommended

    I highly recommend this book. It is a must-read and will keep you turning the pages until you have finished it. A truly inspirational woman, Becky has allowed us into her darkest days so that we, too, could understand her journey. Heart-wrenching and even hilarious at times, this book is one of the best I've ever read.

    NY Times Best Seller....my prediction for the future

    I couldn't put it down. This book made me laugh, cry, admire, feel gratitude, witness true strength, and reminded me to pay attention to the small things in life. In the book Becky touches on the fact she is overwhelmed by everyone that supported her and she hopes to "Pay it Forward" someday. This book will help so many people.
