Marisa Weiss, Ellen Weiss
Three Rivers Press, 1998
A comforting guide in the privacy of your home!
My daughter was sitting with my husband and myself in the office of my radiation oncologist. She spotted "Living Beyond Breast Cancer" on the bookshelf. She like myself was so lost when we found I had breast cancer. Neither my husband, daughter or myself knew what was going to happen. She began reading the book and could not put it down. When the Dr. came into the room he made comment ...

Dean Koontz
Bantam, 2000
Bravo
From the very first page I was hooked. I had never read any of Dean Koontz's books before but,for some reason this book caught my attention. The pace of this book didn't slow down for a moment. I really enjoyed how the author took special care in making sure that the reader understood the emotions each of the main characters were feeling. In return, I was able to better connect with each ...

Borders in store buy 4 get on free offer
When I included this and Perseplos & Maus 2 I was informed that they are not graphic novels and that I could not have one free. AMAZING! Of course after I asked for the distric manager's name/number there was a sudden change of heart BUT NOT a good instore experience from BORDERS at ALL. The GRAPHIC NOVEL is great. Borders are not.

Lone Survivor: The Eyewitness Account of Operation Redwing and the Lost Heroes of SEAL Team 10692 reviews
Marcus Luttrell
Back Bay Books, 2008
Short, sweet, and to the point
I don't care what a persons political views are, this is a must read. I also don't care if Marcus Luttrell is not Hemingway, that is not the point of this book. Thank you to all the people who recognized this book for what it was instead of tearing it apart for something it wasn't even trying to be. Thank you Mr. Luttell for writing your story.

Your Guide to Diving into the Abyss
Dear E. Sue Blume,
I recently had the opportunity to read your book, Secret Survivors. In short, I have discovered a hell within myself that I did not know was there thanks to you.
You see, I had no idea that the after-effects of my incestuous past ran so deep. You originally intended your book to be for those who could only remember their incest in part, or maybe not at all... in my ...

You can be strong!
This is a great book for women with breast cancer who want to be strong or stay strong. It has great information on what kind of exercise we need and has specific exercises for our various surgeries. When I started chemo everyone told me that 80% of women gain weight. I was lucky to find a local fitness program for people with cancer (Living Strong Living Well) and I was able to work out during ...

Al Siebert
Perigee Trade, 1996
It is possible to learn how to be more "resilient"
I had an opportunity to hear the author speak about "resiliency in the workplace" at a conference in Portland, OR two years ago. He offered good examples and strategies for coping with stress and change. I enjoyed his talk, and bought this book and another title by him as well. I have since bought additional copies of this book to give to friends who are experiencing different kinds of stress. ...

A book that deepened my faith like few others
Soul Survivor is one of my very favorite Christian books. I will continue to purchase copies to give to my Christian and non-Christian friends. The book focuses on the PRINCIPLES of Jesus and how they can be applied in daily living - and have been successfully applied by Christian and non-Christians over the years. I really love this book.
Plus, of course - Philip Yancey is a really ...

Desperate Journeys, Abandoned Souls: True Stories of Castaways and Other Survivors20 reviews
Edward E. Leslie
Mariner Books, 1998
Fascinating and well-written
This is a gripping account of how castaways and survivors struggle with nature and, sometimes, man. It is a huge book and I agree that the author could have eliminated the last section of the book. Actually, he should have written two books, one of them on the detailed survival of people like Alexander Selkirk and Herman Melville and the other book a short one on modern survivalists.
This ...

The Cancer Survivor's Guide: The Essential Handbook to Life after Cancer3 reviews
Michael Feuerstein, Patricia Findley
Da Capo Press, 2006
Useful tool for Survivors and Clinicians
This book, co-authored by a cancer survivor, is an extremely useful tool to help guide survivors (or clinicians working with survivors) through the months and years following a cancer diagnosis. I have used this book as the guideline for a cancer survivorship therapy group and it has been received very well by the group members. One survivor stated that this book "provids the how-to steps" for ...

Cancer survivor
I came across this book when I was offered a free nutrition class sponsored by the Cancer Project in Washington, DC. I attended the class, read the book and tried out the recipes. Most of them are pretty good. The information is easy to read and very helpful. I am in remission from throat cancer over 5 years ago. I want to stay that way. If you have had cancer or know anyone that has, get ...

Penny Simkin
Classic Day Publishing, 2004
Great Insight/Tool
I found this book to be a great tool to add to my base of knowledge. As a CBE,Doula I come across women that have had previous abuse issues. This book gives you the awareness to handle (not treat) these issues in a sensitive way. It has different sections for Midwives,Doulas,CBE'S, ETC. I found it worth adding to the reference library.

Don't believe the critics. . .
I'll have to admit that before I bought this book I read some bad reviews people had given it. I think I had a bit of thier criticism when I started reading, so the book seemed to start slowly. As a read deeper into this adventure, I found myself getting hooked and couldn't put the book down. I'm sorry I ever listened to other people's opinions, and I should have trusted more in my favorite ...
