Publisher's Note 35 black & white & color inspirational photographs of women, seminude, after breast cancer surgery. Some women are accompanied by their partners. This book has been hailed by breast cancer support organizations, national women's magazines & doctors as a valuable tool in healing the psychological wounds that befall women & their partners following breast cancer surgery. Author/physician David Spiegel notes,"The women in these photos...are redefining their beauty: breasts missing, reconstructed, they present their bodies & themselves with humor, sadness, vulnerability, & honesty." A noted television personality states on an ABC affiliate, "This powerful collection of photos...pictures exposing more of the heart & soul than the body." The photographic community has awarded national recognition to the physician/photographer for this project & exhibitions of the original work have been seen across the country. A creator of a major photographic museum notes on reviewing the photographs, "...we simply stood back & quietly agreed that they were extraordinary images."
