Golden Scars: How the Death of My Husband Prepared Me to Battle Breast Cancer - Paperback

by Emily (Barry) Zarecki (Author)

I. Am. The. Storm.

When Emily was diagnosed with breast cancer, it immediately brought back memories of helping her mother navigate late-stage ovarian cancer. Scared and freshly grieving the loss of her mom, Emily had to search deep inside herself to find the courage she knew she would need to defeat cancer. And she'd been through enough storms in her past that had prepared her to weather this one. By reflecting on the tragic passing of her first husband, what it took to raise three young children as a single mother, finding the courage to embrace love again, and the tumultuous journey of her mother's cancer battle, GOLDEN SCARS chronicles one woman's ability to overcome much more than a cancer diagnosis.

In this touching debut memoir, Zarecki uses her own story to help others who might be facing similar circumstances know exactly what to expect after they hear the word "cancer." GOLDEN SCARS will leave you heartbroken but inspired to call upon your strongest self in times of seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
