Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing.
In "Resurrection Lily" Amy Byer Shainman, brings compassion and faith to the discussion of breast cancer. It is science forward, as the the subtitle, "The BRCA Gene, Hereditary Cancer & Lifesaving Whispers from the Grandmother I Never Knew" tells. While, the science here is clear and up to date, the main focus is on family, emotional survival and faith.

I received this book for free right here on LibraryThing. It is truly a must read for all woman. It is packed with emotion along with extensive research. I have already recommended this book to all of my close female family and friends. As a librarian I will be recommending it to my local book groups as I sincerely believe it should be on every book groups to-read list. I was pleasantly surprised to also receive a face mask that matches the cover of the book. It is beautiful and has sparked many conversations about the book each time I wear it. All while promoting the cause at the same time. I can't speak highly enough of this book, it is absolutely my favorite book i've read all year so far!… (más)

In this book, Amy Byer Shainman has approached the topic of the BRCA gene and breast cancer from a personal angle. She tells the story of friends and relatives who have battled the disease. But she also details her own story of taking preventative measures when she discovers she has the BRCA gene.

This was an ok book. The parts were ok, but the organization was...strange and I couldn't really get into it. It was not a particularly memorable book. I started it 3 times before I got past the first chapter, and frequenly other even non-fiction titles got more attention than this one. The only thing I felt when I finally finished was "Oh thank god I'm done". I liked individual bits but most of them weren't really enough to make up for the rest of it.
I do wish it was better. Breast cancer is kind of a scary topic and it doesn't get a lot of specific coverage.… (más)
