On Oct. 1, Linda, a double mastectomy survivor, published her book “The Courage to Look Beyond.”

Like most women who lose one or both breasts, Linda was ashamed of her body and could not look at herself in the mirror, let alone be seen naked by a partner. The turning point for her occurred in January 2010 at the Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida. While being examined by a doctor in front of 75 people, she lifted her top and showed the crowd her body.

Jaws dropped and audience members praised Morin for her courage. At that point, her life took a positive turn. She realized that she was still attractive and whole despite losing her breasts; she embraced her body, and soon began helping other women scarred by cancer and other diseases.

Linda’s web site is: http://www.lindamorin.ca It’s work a look.
