On Tuesday, February 17, 2008 at 7:00 pm, local writer Beth Dotson Brown will be speaking at Madison County Public Library in Berea about how she approached her cancer treatment and recovery from a holistic standpoint. Brown is the only Kentucky contributor to the recently published book, A Cup of Comfort for Breast Cancer Survivors. The book includes 46 personal essays by women whose lives were changed by their fight with and triumph over cancer. Poignant and candid, these stories from wives, mothers and daughters keep hopes up and spirits alive through difficult times.
In her talk, Brown will share what she learned while recovering from cancer surgery, receiving chemotherapy and reporting for daily radiation treatments while also writing her first non-fiction book and a novel. She credits her ability to continue pursuing her work and her passions to approaching the recovery process from a holistic point of view that took into consideration the many facets of her life and her medical needs. Beth shares her own experience while also naming tools that anyone facing life’s challenges can use to become a stronger and happier person, and she invites audience members to share their own stories of surviving breast cancer.
Brown works as a freelance writer and editor and has written for publications such as Junior Scholastic, Kentucky Living magazine, The Lexington Herald-Leader, CrossRoads newspaper and Catholic Digest. Her first nonfiction book, Yes! I Am Catholic, How Faith Plays a Role in My Life, was published in 2007 by St. Mary’s Press. Brown is also a long-time contributor to the Advocate’s Light Side column.
Madison County Public Library is located at 319 Chestnut Street in Berea. For more information, contact Abbie Harris, Branch Librarian, at 986-7112. This presentation is free and open to all.
