Publisher's Synopsis
This is the story of one woman's journey -- a woman who walked out of work on a summer Friday afternoon to go to a routine mammogram, a medical appointment which she assumed would be like any other, just something to cross off her list of things to do, so she could get back to the business of being a working mother. This appointment changed the course of her life so greatly that going back to work was not an option for months.In this story she tells her kids, "Your life will not change. I will not change. I will still be the same mom telling you to pick up your dirty socks." What she didn't know then was that there will forever be a line in their family's sand, the "before" and "after" her breast cancer diagnosis. Today, two years since that mammogram, she can almost see a glimmer of why this may have happened, but she doesn't accept it as a happy accident. This is the story about how she tried to look for silver linings; how she found them; and continues to every day.
