 My immune system booster!, 2001-07-25
I was diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer in July 2000. After reading and hearing about the dismal survival statistics, I became extremely distressed and upset. A few months later, I discovered 'Feather'. This book boosted my immune system! It is informative, encouraging, humorous, and best of all, human. Barbara's story is certainly worth telling. I retell it often. My copy gets revisited on those sad and down days - a source of encouragement that helps me stay happy and strong.

An inspirational guide to living with ovarian cancer., 2001-05-26
Once my mother was diagnosed with late-stage ovarian cancer, I began to learn about this terrible disease.
Of all the books and internet sites I found, this little paperback is among the best. Brief, authoritative and written by a long-term suvivor. It gives you the good, the bad and ugly about treatment options and the disease with an upbeat undercurrent that science and medicine is becoming more successful in treating ovarian cancer.
The author wrote this book from the victims perspective, which makes it a great introductory tome for anyone just diagnosed with this vicious disease.

"EXCELLENT" UPLIFTING FEATHER IN MY WIG, 2001-05-18
This book that was written by an R.N. who experienced all of the Ovarian Cancer Disease and has indicated humor, positive attitude towards beating this "Beast". It's a must read book to make your day that is filled with laughter and a determined feeling of getting better each and every day. The review with one star is obviously a person who did not read the entire book and I challenge her to read it in its entirety and guarantee that she will love the book when finished! I absolutely loved the book and found so much healing in reading it myself. For I am also an Ovarian Cancer Survivor of two years and going strong. Godbless you Barbara...

 It upset my mother, 2001-05-01
I bought this book for my mother, who is currently battling ovarian cancer. I bought it to inspire her, and let her know that there are survivors out there. Well, the introduction was written to dramatize the book. It went on and on about how few people survive ovarian cancer (not true!!) and what a miracle it was that the writer survived. Consequently, my mother got extremely depressed. She never read the whole book because the introduction upset her so much.

Worth every penny!, 2000-08-03
I got this book for my mom who's recently been diagnosed with cancer. I picked it up this afternoon and didn't put it done until I was finished. What an inspiration! Just what I needed after a long week of discouraging news and facing grim statistics. The author was cured of Stage III Ovarian Cancer and tells how she battled the disease and won. Nothing "hokey" or "alternative" about it--unless you consider meditation, prayer, visualization, and POSITIVE thinking "hokey." This is an EXCELLENT book, surely it's a "must-have" for anyone facing this disease.
