The words "you have cancer" can be devastating to hear and undoubtedly have altered the lives of millions of people. This collaboration is a collection of testimonies from some of the strongest survivors of some of the toughest battles.
In There is Beauty Beyond The Scars, ten women: Lauren, Mary, Erica, Leonetta, Taneja, Amber, Michelle, Jordynne, Melody and Jackinah Denise, "THE" Strong Willed Survivor, gracefully rise from the proverbial ashes of cancer to declare a deeper truth that permeates beyond the scars left from the impact of the disease.
Varying in ages, backgrounds, and journeys, each contributor encourages others through reflections on how they rose above chronic illnesses to celebrate all that is beautiful.
There Is Beauty Beyond The Scars is a perspective phenomenon, reminding cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and family members of butterflies (those no longer physically with us) that they have the power to see themselves through the eyes of beauty rather than blemishes.
