I love holding books in my hand and thumbing through the pages for resources, looking at the photos, children’s books, and finding a bit of inspiration. These are books on my bookshelf or ones on my shopping list to purchase. I want to share with you to help you along your Journey from diagnosis to your decision about breast reconstruction surgery. I hope you enjoy them as much I do.
