Erin Shafer tells her story with humor and honesty. "This has been a long journey. I have hated it, yet would never change a thing about what I have learned. Tough? Incredibly so. Scared? Beyond reason. Hope? Now overflowing. You see, walking through breast cancer myself, I have seen far too many broken and bitter people called "survivors." I don't blame them. I know, because I have been stuck there myself. It is an easy trap for willing and unwilling parties alike. I could hear my grandpa McDonald saying, 'Erin, in life you have to learn to become part of the solution, not part of the problem.' Cancer can take a lot from you, but it will never define who you are, unless you let it. You can decide to live with cancer, or to let cancer live with you
This book is very near and dear to my heart. She is and always will be momma Erin to me. She has become very close to me over the past year and if you have time you should defiantly read this very emotional read!
