This is a book of elegant photographs by award-winning photographer Art Myers of women following treatment for breast cancer. Scars and missing breasts are openly revealed in an artistic way. The pictures are accompanied by vignettes written by each woman relating a short story of her journey through the breast cancer experience. Original poems by Maria Marrocchino are paired with some of the photos and the book has a poignant foreword by Dr. David Spiegel, author of Living Beyond Limits. The photographs include women in the United States as well as in France and the narratives written by the French women are presented in both French and English. Two women, well-known in the breast cancer support communities, Dani Grady in the US and Annick Parent from France, have written introductions.

At turns stirring, humorous, heartrending, introspective, stark, and defiant, the pieces in Art.Rage.Us. have the power to comfort, provoke, and transform. For each of the 75 artists, the impulse to transform her experience of breast cancer through creative expression was an integral part of the search for healing.
