Breast cancer.  Whether it be a mother, a daughter, a sister, a co-worker, a neighbor, a friend of a friend, in some way, shape, or form breast cancer has unfortunately touched our lives.It is an alarming moment to get that phone call.  When my mother was told of her diagnosis of breast cancer years ago, it was devastating for her, as well as, for everyone in the family.  Reading Mackenzie Crowne's story of survival brought back so many memories.  All of the gamut of emotions she went through from diagnosis to surgeries to treatments, I saw my mother go through as well.Everyone deals with cancer in their own way.  This story gives insight to how Ms. Crowne dealt with it in her life.  It is honest and raw and deeply poignant.  In the midst of the overwhelming and trying times, there is laughter, too.  I loved that she was able to find humor during this time.  The title alone makes me smile big!  I knew exactly what she was talking about having laughed with my mother when she got to that part of the reconstruction process.Thank you, Mackenzie Crowne, for sharing your story.  I have no doubt that your inspiring story will help many people, their family, and friends.  The cover is absolutely beautiful, too!
