This new book of photographs of semi-nude women and their partners presents a remarkable portrait of breast cancer survivors, of which there are 1.6 million in the US. These photographic subjects are portrayed not as victims but as women of elegance, strength and sensuousness who have transcended their disease and resultant surgery. The women in the book range in age from their twenties to over eighty-three years. Accompanied by original poetry by Maria Marrocchino and subject written vignettes, these women redefine their self-image: breast missing, altered and reconstructed. As Dr. David Spiegel, the nationally recognized specialist in the therapy of women facing life-threatening illness notes in the foreword, "...they present their bodies and themselves with humor, sadness, vulnerability, honesty. They challenge us to look beyond what is missing, beneath the scar. They evoke admiration: of their beauty and their courage. They do not hide their loss, they transcend it.", Paperback, Edition: 1st, Label: Photographic Gallery of Fine Art Books, Photographic Gallery of Fine Art Books, Product group: Book, Published: 1996-08, Studio: Photographic Gallery of Fine Art Books, Sales rank: 3163785.

This book of elegant photographs of women following treatment for breast cancer is a Gold and Silver Award winner in the 2010 Nautilus Book Awards and a Gold Award winner in the 2010 Living Now Book Awards. Art Myers' photos reveal scars and missing breasts in an artistic and sensitive manner. The portraits are accompanied by vignettes written by each woman conveying hope, courage, confidence, and even humor while relating a brief story of her breast cancer experience. Some of the women's husbands, family members, or significant others also share their stories and are photographed with their loved ones. Original poetry by Maria Marrocchino is paired with some of the photos and the book has a poignant foreword by Dr. David Spiegel, author of the book Living Beyond Limits. The photographs include women in the United States as well as France with the French women's narratives presented in both French and English. Two women well-known in the breast cancer support communities, Dani Grady in the US and Annick Parent in Paris, have written introductions.
