Description Editorial Reviews About the Authors
 
Like any group of young women, Patti, Kim, Jennifer, and Jana talked about their latest career moves, the men in their lives, and their dreams for family each month when they met for lunch at the café at their local Nordstrom department store. But unlike other women their age, their conversations also turned to more serious issues, issues their "non–breast cancer" friends couldn’t have imagined or understood. Their breast cancer diagnoses came at very different phases of their young lives. Patti was 24, single, and forging her way in the corporate world. Jana was planning her wedding at age 27, and bravely walked down the aisle wearing a wig and breast prosthesis. Jennifer, also 27, was five months pregnant when she was diagnosed, and endured surgery and chemotherapy during the pregnancy. Kim found her lump at age 30 while planning her son’s second birthday party, and faced the issues of raising a toddler while she underwent treatment.

Nordie’s at Noon shares the personal stories of each of these extraordinary women. A source of humor, strength, inspiration, and education, the book will speak to anyone who has ever been diagnosed with cancer or faced a seemingly insurmountable challenge. A celebration of friendship and of living life to the fullest, Nordie’s at Noon is also a book that will encourage women everywhere to be proactive with their health—and realize that no one is "too young" for breast cancer.

Shelley Christy (real name), Pittsburgh, PA February 3, 2007
Reviewer: Michelle L. Chirsty from Leechburg, PA  
I read about "Nordie's at Noon" from my weekly PEOPLE magazine subscription. I actually bought the book on vacation and could not put it down--it is a quick read, but so very powerful and inspiring. I admire these four ladies' courage and their stance not to be victims. They are true survivors and are an inspiration to anyone faced with any type of illness. I passed the book along to a friend who has breast cancer as well. When you read the book, you definitely feel like you know the four authors. I recommend this book to ALL woman!

Wonderful book! February 3, 2007
Reviewer: Cynthia M. Dunlap "Cindy" from KCMO  
This book is an awesome read! It teaches the true meaning of friendship. It inspires the reader to make each day count. This is a keeper - recommend it to your friends or give it as a gift. It doesn't matter whether the reader has breast cancer or not, it is a book about living life to its fullest.

This hit the spot!! February 3, 2007
Reviewer: G. Topel from Missouri  
Reading these women's stories is just what I needed being a "young" breast cancer survivor. I laughed, I cried and most of all, I found a connection to others I didn't realize I'd been longing for. A must read for EVERYONE!!

Have tissue handy February 3, 2007
Reviewer: penandra from Livermore, CA  
As others have mentioned, I read the review in People magazine and picked up the book the next day. The approach taken by the authors is a great approach with each woman sharing her experience on the journey. I would recommend this book to any woman I know (and have). But if I were to give it as a gift, I'd include a package of tissues alongside!

Wonderful story that got to me. February 3, 2007
Reviewer: JR "momma who reads" from St. Louis, MO  
This book was a touching tale of four women who became friends through breast cancer - even though they were all "too young" to get it. It is an honest, open look at every stage of breast cancer - the diagnosis, treatment, death and the life you have to deal with along the way. I am 32 years old, and this book FINALLY got me performing self breast exams. I think that speaks for itself.
