Letters to Alex:: My Story as a Fighter and Survivor

When the young, spunky author is faced with a life-shattering diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer, she turns to writing letters to her daughter in a journal, detailing the obstacles she faces during treatment, all the while maintaining her signature class, scrappiness, and positive attitude as she continues to work as a full-time forensic scientist and mom. This book gives a refreshing and honest look into fighting a potentially deadly disease as the author is actually living through it. It allows all women, especially young women, to realize you can fight through a cancer diagnosis and still look fabulous and do almost everything you normally did before, including exercising, working, going out with family and friends, and being a great mom. The book emotionally draws the reader into an unprecedented intimate look of a thirty-something breast cancer survivor. The reader will want to smile, cry, and cheer all at the same time for the intelligent, tough mom of one.
