Amber's Reflections: Candid Personal Conversation about Cancer, Hair Loss and Empowerment

This book was written in honor of Amber Nicole Birmingham, who lost her fight with osteosarcoma, a type of cancer that starts in the bones. Here are her reflections of courage and insight as her life intertwines with her family, friends, and doctors. Her email writings describe what she was going through during her three year battle with cancer. Amber was a gifted writer who could portray her thoughts and feelings vividly. Now her writings and those who communicated with her are compiled into this book of remembrance. Not only is this a tribute to Amber's life of hope, courage, and love, but this book can be beneficial to anyone touched with cancer, whether as a caregiver, family, or friend. It can help in better understanding what someone is going through emotionally and mentally. You will see the importance of being surrounded with a great support system, which was of tremendous comfort to Amber. If, as many believe, the meaning of one's life and existence is to find one's own special gifts, and once these gifts are found, one's purpose is to give those gifts away. Her family, friends, and associates believed Amber fulfilled this belief.
