Shawneda Marks -  My True Essence -  Available Now! -  3.5 out of 5 books -  My True Essence tells a poignant story of how breast cancer can change a person's life in a blink of an eye. We are introduced to the characters of Danielle, Janessa, and Rebecca, who are all dealing with the aftermath of a breast cancer diagnosis. Through faith, these women are determined to face the future with strength & courage. The topic of breast cancer hits home for me. I have known a few beautiful people that have died from this terrible disease. Just because breast cancer doesn't run in your family doesn't mean you are immune to it. The only problem I had with this book was that I didn't feel connected to the characters as much as I would have liked to. There were some parts of the book that seemed to drag on until finally getting to the point. I do applaud the author for tackling this important subject.  Overall, My True Essence is a good read.
