At thirty-five, Becky Dennington received a diagnosis she had never imagined she would hear: breast cancer, found in both non-invasive and invasive forms. Almost overnight her world narrowed to appointments, treatments and a word she could hardly bring herself to speak. This memoir follows her battle, tracing the toll it took on her body and spirit and the sacrifices her family made to keep daily life going around her. It is an honest account of heartbreak, but also of the small moments of happiness that carried her through the hardest stretch.
