"Promise Me: How a sister's love launched the global movement to end breast cancer" by Nancy Brinker chronicles the lives Susan G. Koman and her sister, Nancy, who founded a nonprofit dedicated to curing the disease which claimed her sister. Interwoven with the biographical information of the Goodman/Brinker/Koman families is the the history of breast cancer itself. One of the eye opening aspects of the book is how women were treated for breast cancer throughout history. The relationship of the sisters is portrayed in a real way. Faults are not glossed over. But love remains the overall theme. I found "Promise Me" to be a poignant and inspiring read.
