Author Description

Discovering you have breast cancer does not always come in the form of a routine mammogram or finding a lump. Sometimes it is found in the most unsuspecting ways. As Angie discovered she had five tumors, after the decision to have breast augmentation, her plans for a perfect boob job changed to one of a bilateral mastectomy. Angie shares a very real and candid story of her diagnosis, surgeries and recovery, all while keeping focused on God. The world's views on faith and healing are not always those reflected in the Word of God. Angie creatively lays this out for the reader to compare at the start of each chapter. Not only will survivors relate to her struggles, but also co-survivors and friends can learn from her story and understand they are not alone in their personal feelings. In Beyond My Boobs you will laugh, cry, and come to know God's true heart towards His children. He wants you healed, healthy, and happy. "Her message is one of hope and encouragement. Easy to say, now that she's survived it, right? What if I told you she was writing it while it was happening? What if I told you she decided to write a book to help others when the diagnosis was still so new she didn't yet know which end was up or if she'd even make it? She took notes, wrote journals, gave speeches - all while in the midst of her fight, all while encouraging others" -Diane Kidman Angie Christine is a breast cancer survivor, diagnosed at the age of 36.
