"In this beautifully written and deeply honest book Caitlin Breedlove brings us on her harrowing journey through cancer. With unflinching emotional, spiritual and political insight, she offers lessons about struggle for us all." –Barbara Smith, author of The Truth That Never Hurts: Writings on Race, Gender, and Freedom
"Wrestling with what it means to hold death and life in a body with cancer, this is an offering of raw, unfiltered truth of recovery, transmutation, cancer and life. Her words are a salve for all hearts and medicine for survivors. As well as a blueprint on how to navigate systems of reproductive care when the constellation of queer/trans/femme bodies has been collapsed and forgotten. " –Cara Page, author of Healing Justice Lineages: Dreaming at the Crossroads of Liberation, Collective Care, and Safety
"Required reading for anyone longing to make a wider way for love and justice in the world. Standing in the tradition of our feminist foremothers–think Audre Lorde, think June Jordan–Caitlin allows her particular life-threatening experience to inform a politics already rooted in what it means to show up in one's fullness, no matter the circumstance. I was at once shattered and challenged by the unflinching glimpse she provided of life's fragility and fierceness." –Lisa Anderson, Vice President of Auburn Seminary and founding director of the Sojourner Truth Leadership Circle
