Quote from Author Tish Litchfield
“On these deeply personal pages, from the perspective of my fragile yet resilient earthly form, I recognize my imperfections, my personal struggles and lessons, and my quest for total healing—whether it be physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual. I also credit my journey from diagnosis to healing from breast cancer to my greatest passion in life, paddling my own canoe! A canoe paddling injury to my breast led to the discovery of The Cancer. Paddling and that injury actually saved my life. My passion for paddling is splashed like ocean waves throughout my book because my motivation to be well enough to get back in the boat and conquer paddling Lake Tahoe led to my healing.”

Quote from Author Tish Litchfield
“Through grace and light, God elevated me to write this book about my story of healing from The Cancer with the intention of helping others better understand the experience of cancer—whether for them or their loved ones. My journey includes specific details about my life to illustrate my firm belief that my “dis-ease” was connected to past, unresolved emotions that I had suppressed for years. The question of whether or not you can relate to my experience is yours. However, I have found that our lives are a series of healing journeys and lessons from the day we are born until the day we die. Recognizing that more than just my body needed healing was paramount to my whole wellbeing and my future prognosis as a survivor.”
