    Hmm, not the most pleasant thought but it sounds like she no longer needs the treatments. I love the cover on this book.

    Certainly chemo is not pleasant, but this does make me curious about the rest of her journey. And the cover is really beautiful!

    Oh, I love that cover, and the excerpt tells us more than enough to know that this woman is facing challenges.

    Nasty feeling...but good that she's "remembering" the treatments. Hopefully they're all over.

    Got mine up.

    Happy Friday!
