Angel in the Marble: A Memoir

MEMOIR

BY LOUISE JOHNSON

When Anne Kristiansen was diagnosed with Triple Negative breast cancer it felt like her world fell apart. What she found ultimately was something greater. From the realities of doctors, mastectomies, and chemotherapy treatments, to the torment of grappling with her own mortality, this raw, real, and often humorous story chronicles Kristiansen’s journey to reclaim her identity while struggling through a terrifying disease. Beginning with trauma and ending in strength and peace, this story shows how adversity can transform a person into a warrior with a new and grateful perspective.

For those facing breast cancer, Angel in the Marble is the friend on your nightstand who has been there. For supporters, friends, or family members, it’s an up close, insightful view into not only the medical processes surrounding breast cancer, but also the emotional toll on the patient’s psyche and identity. The book will be an inspiration to anyone struggling with adversity as it provides hope and a path to self-revelation.
