Lisa has done a beautiful work with recipes of Moms who have succumb to breast cancer. The love and care she put into this book is very evident. I love it! I am so touched that she took the time and great effort to accomplish this very special book.

There aren't many books about breast cancer that make me tear up at the dedication page, but this one did. I already knew that Lisa Burton had written a book honoring her mother by gathering stories and recipes from women whose mothers had died of breast cancer. But when I opened the book, there she was, holding her little dog in one of those family snap shots we all have.
