Our Books
One Ordinary Hero
Inspired by Joseph Campbell’s work applying the myth of the hero’s journey to ordinary people, the author describes how she was able to respond to challenges in her own life. Through working on her own psychology, she was able to manage her fears and create a fulfilling career, establish financial security, build a family through single parent adoption, travel all over the world; and enjoy a happy life with few regrets. Her book inspires ordinary people, especially women, to build extraordinary lives.
The Thinking Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer
When Dr. Maker was diagnosed in 2011, she, like most people, knew almost nothing about breast cancer. What she did know is that she didn’t feel safe simply following her doctors’ advice. She needed to understand for herself all her treatment options, the statistical outcomes for each option, and all the potential side effects, so she could make informed decisions.
The Thinking Woman’s Guide to Breast Cancer is the story of her journey and the things she learned along the way. This information helped her to make informed decisions about her treatment, and it also helped her to make the lifestyle changes that she hopes will keep her in remission. This is the book she wished she had before, during, and after her treatment.
