Since fighting breast cancer, Mary Olsen Kelly lives with a “Do it now!” attitude. The estimated 2.3 million women across the United States who have who dealt with or are dealing with breast cancer will find hope and a portable support group to sustain and comfort them in these times of need.

That ‘Do it now!’ attitude inspired Kelly to develop and co-create Chicken Soup for the Breast Cancer Survivor’s Soul: Stories to Inspire, Support and Heal. In the familiar spirit of the Chicken Soup series, Kelly captures the uplifting and often emotional breast cancer stories from survivors around the world, women and one man, and their families.
