In July 2007 Julie Grimm learned she had breast cancer. With determination to survive for her family, her sons, and herself she fought back, and won. Allowing a professional photographer to record her treatment, regardless of the course, the outcome is an honest look into the interior of real human strength: Julie's will to survive.
Her book serves as a reminder and signal to those facing and fighting breast cancer, keeping in mind that we often fight on behalf of someone close, other than ourselves. Triumph is far from guaranteed, but does happen. Julie aims to see that it happens with more frequency until it no long happens at all.
Today, I'm a proud survivor and enjoy the tribulations of raising my two sweet boys. My blood work is outstanding and my mammograms have come back negative. I continue to look at my life with a different spin and try to enjoy every minute even when challenges arise I ask myself "Is this bigger than not being here at all?" The answer is always the same.
Wow, what a powerful book!
Thank you for sharing a very personal part of yourself in a very profound way.
It is so special and expresses my same feelings so elequently.
May your beautiful book find its way into the hands of every person who would benefit from it.
