Staying Abreast is an uplifting collection of personal reflections and inspirational writings by breast cancer survivors, their families, and friends. The writings include poetry, passages, and personal essays with contributions by several published authors, Ronnie Kaye (Spinning Straw Into Gold) and Marilyn Moody (Courage and Cancer). The late Dr. Leo Buscaglia, leading author and speaker, gave permission to the author (former student of his) to quote him. The writings are humorous, compassionate, and empowering.
