Journal: A Mother and Daughter’s Recovery from Breast Cancer
Photographs by Annabel Clark
Text by Lynn Redgrave
Essay by Dr. Barron Lerner
With heart-rending honesty, in bittersweet moments as beautiful as they are difficult, yet with humor and optimism throughout, the photographs and journal entries illustrate a personal journey through the leading cancer diagnosed in women today. An essay by the well-known writer and medical authority Dr. Barron Lerner (author of the critically acclaimed book, The Breast Cancer Wars, and professor of medicine at Columbia University) provides further insight into the disease: where we were twenty years ago in awareness, where we are now, and how far we still have to go.
