A book is a garden, an orchard, a storehouse, a party,
a company by the way, a counselor, a multitude of counselors.
~ Henry Ward Beecher

 

There are a wealth of books out there on the subject of breast cancer - both for you and for those who care about you. These are but a few of the ones we found reliable and helpful. Please feel free to email us with your favorites! And don't forget - if you use Goodsearch and choose Dorcas Project (Perkins) as your charity, a donation can be made to us without you spending any addition money!
