(PRWEB) May 10, 2009 -- In 2005, when Marcie Nolan was 32 years old, she had everything a young woman could want. She had a satisfying job as a teacher in Guelph in southern Ontario. She had a new home and a loving family -- husband Jeff and her two-year-old daughter Bryn. And she was happily, wondrously pregnant with her second child.

And then came the diagnosis -- breast cancer -- bringing with it a wild, frightening year-long ride on an emotional roller-coaster. A woman about to give birth, about to celebrate the beginning of new life, was forced to fight for her own.

And fight, she did. She delivered a knockout blow to her breast cancer -- and her struggle to battle cancer on her own terms has led to the publication of her remarkable new book, My Marmoirs: The True Story of a Head on a Stick.

This is a book about cancer told through the eyes of a strong-willed woman with a marvelous sense of humour and grace. It is a book that should be required reading for anyone who has ever been touched by cancer because, in reading about Marcie Nolan's ordeal, you will learn something profound about yourself and your own inner strength.

You will cry as you walk with Nolan on the pathway of her journey. You will also laugh yourself silly as Nolan light-heartedly puts into words the absurdity of her predicament. This is a serious book, to be sure, but Nolan has found a way to turn the cancer battle upside-down. She stares cancer in the face, daring the disease to come and get her.

The winner, by unanimous decision, is Marcie Nolan. Her love, her courage, her strength, and her sense of optimism, hope and faith, run through the pages of Marmoirs like a crystal-clear stream on a fresh springtime morning.

Inspirational? The word doesn't do justice to this remarkable account. My Marmoirs is flat-out spectacular. Buy it. Read it. Laugh. Cry. You will cheer for Marcie Nolan -- and you might see something of yourself in her amazing struggle.
