Great

I had no problems receiving this book in a timely manner-- it's a great book!

Heartbreaking and Inspiring

I was a fan of Soraya before I knew anything about her history with Breast Cancer. As someone attempting to learn to speak Spanish, her clear, calm, but powerful voice made it easy to discern her words and her sincerity made me want to learn their meanings. As a lifelong musician and songwriter, her music was (and is) a revelation, with gorgeous, soaring melodies and wonderful musicianship throughout. This book focuses on the truly heroic part of her life, from her diagnosis to her relentless work to bring education about this terrible disease to those who had never heard it. She worked almost to the day she died toward this end, and this book is her legacy and her final gift to us. You will be inspired by her incredible strength and spirit as you mourn her tragic passing.

A real life HERO.

"A hero doesnot have to win. A hero doesnot have to be larger than life. A hero can be an ordinary person who overcomes extraordinary events with dignity and grace".-Soraya. This is the introduction Soraya offers to her book. This is a book worth reading by everybody as it offers much needed advice from how to enjoy life to how to prepare for our own mortality. After Soraya's passing to breast cancer complications I have become proactive in breast cancer prevention and awareness. I hope others can recieve inspiration by reading this book.

Soraya A Life of Music a legacy of Hope

I have always admired Soraya for her incredible songwriting ability and her book just inspired me more. Her down to earth writing is an inspiration to all humans fighting breast cancer or just trying to deal with this life that can give us so many good and bad things all at once. I recommend this book to everyone!
