More about the book
Exploring the timeless struggle against breast cancer, the narrative connects two remarkable women: Queen Atossa of ancient Babylon and Dr. Jerri Nielsen, a modern physician. Despite their vast differences in time, culture, and status, both women embody a shared experience of fear and resilience. Atossa, a powerful figure in history, contrasts sharply with Nielsen, whose adventurous spirit leads her to the extremes of Antarctica. Their stories highlight the enduring sisterhood among women facing this age-old disease, bridging the gap between ancient and contemporary worlds.
