Beauty and strength in words
This book is a collection of poetry surrounding Costa’s experiences being diagnosed with and treated for a brain tumor beginning last year.Through these poems she describes her love and appreciation for her brain, resilience through this diagnosis, gratitude, and hope. They are truly beautiful.For years Christina has shared her experiences as a teacher, tips and research, and humor with the world.Since her diagnosis, in less than a year- while undergoing surgery, chemo and radiation- Christina has raised tens of thousands of dollars for brain cancer research and published this set of her own poems she wrote during her treatment, the proceeds of which also go to brain cancer research.I am continually impressed by Christina’s resilience and ability to be such a positive force while going through one of the toughest things in the world. Her poems show strength and beauty, and this is a book I will be coming back to over and over.

1) Purchasing this book supports research on brain tumor/cancer research!
2) This is a a beautiful book, inside and out.
3) Win-win situation #1 and #2.
4) I'm not a poetry-type of guy. I'm usually a hardcore non-fiction/scientific/boring academic writing type of guy. Also, as of July 2021, I've only ever written one Amazon product review (this one). But I truly felt such an eclectic mix of emotions after reading this. Emotions like compassion, love, kama muta, gratitude, sadness, awe, fear, and happiness were experienced. I highly suggest this book to anyone and everyone.
