This looks really fascinating! As a woman whose menopause is recent history, I consider this a powerful topic.

She is a great character. I don't think enough people realize how many cancer survivors are thrust into menopause decades before they intended to be dealing with all the ramifications of the loss of estrogen. It is just another of the I-didn't-die-now-what issues a cancer survivor deals with.<br /><br />Jessica is a neat super hero because she is an unassuming young mom that isn't so comfortable with her new abilities at first. It's neat to see her come into her own as the novel progresses. From what I've seen of the sequel (I am lucky enough to be one of Samantha's beta readers so I know what happens in book 2), Jessica is stronger than she ever expected to be. Another great post!<br /><a href="http://scribblinginthestorageroom.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">Elizabeth Hein - Scribbling in the Storage Room</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697412264806977992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774305250676105976.post-4070194497610142222015-04-11T20:47:23.767-04:002015-04-11T20:47:23.767-04:00Thanks, Zee!

I know a few people who have had cancer, and not one of them is the same afterwards, but neither are their families.<br /><br />For the most part, the changes are positive - we begin to realise what really matters in life, and to see life without the keeping-up-with-the-Joneses attitude that so many of us tend to have.<br /><br />It's such an important story to share xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02557489303198087338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3774305250676105976.post-49985375829764032932015-04-11T10:50:47.057-04:002015-04-11T10:50:47.057-04:00Thanks so much, Natasha!
