About the Author

Beckie Gladfelter was 40 when diagnosed with breast cancer and required surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.  She wanted a book to help her young children understand the stages of her treatment in a child-friendly manner. "My Warrior Mommy: Our Breast Cancer Journey" was written throughout her treatment based on questions and conversations with her children for families who need to explain this difficult topic to their children.
