Deanna Favre, wife of Bret Favre, discusses breast cancer and her faith in God.

You should pick it up! ( )

NCLA Review -At the age of 35, Deanna was suddenly in the spotlight when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She writes about the struggles of her life, not only during the early years as a single mother but also during the years before and after her marriage to her superstar husband. Deanne openly talks about the tough-love ultimatum of divorce, or go into rehab, that she gave her husband when he became addicted to pain killers and alcohol. Her deep faith helped her cope with the deaths of family members, her difficulties in having another child, and her own devastating diagnosis of breast cancer. Part of the proceeds from her book support the HOPE Foundation which provides financial support to women in Wisconsin and Mississippi who don't have medical insurance or enough coverage. Recommended for church libraries that want to offer hope and inspiration to anyone facing cancer and other adversities in life. Rating: 3 —BM ( )

What probably started out to be how one woman, and her family, dealt with her cancer has instead turned out to be an excellent work on an individual's spirituality in the face of calamitous news. Possibly ignored by many because the author is the wife of one of the most famous jocks in America, it is a loss to those who thought so. Deanna Favre has built an incredibel personal history, which of course includes referrences to her famous husband. I think those who have read it have been deeply surprised, I know I was. ( )
