Readers will applaud the bravery of 50 exceptional survivors as they tell their unique experiences with breast cancer. Every breast cancer survivor has a different story, but they all have one thing in common: courage.

These stories pay tribute to these women and their battles, and celebrate their victories. In this stunning new collection, readers will find compelling, inspiring, and uplifting personal essays about the experiences and emotions of living with—and after—breast cancer. $.50 of every copy will be donated to Susan G.

Yes! I Am Catholic: How Faith Plays a Role in My Life
It is important for all of us to know that we are not alone in valuing our faith. When teens hear someone they respect talking about being a Catholic, whether it is another teen, a celebrity, or an adult they admire, they feel strengthened in their own convictions and beliefs. Here teens will read stories by people who could be next-door neighbors, teachers, favorite athletes, or beloved authors, including the following:
Steve Chabot,
Bill Gullickson, retired Major League baseball player
Catherine Hicks, actress, 7th Heaven
Tara Lipinski, Olympic gold medalist, actress
Tony Melendez, musician
Anne Rice, novelist
Tim Roemer, former congressman
Matt Smith, MTV Real World
These stories are from Catholics who have struggles in their faith life, yet they can still proudly say, "Yes! I am Catholic!"

Will you be posting a transcript or a recording of this? I have to be out of town tomorrow and will miss this. My mom is currently battling stage 3 cervical cancer and would love be able to pick up any stratgies I could.
Thanks so much!
