About the Book

From diagnosis to discoveries and decisions, author Olivia Chin has had experiences that would make others give up, but she has faced them with optimism and a sense of style. She has had her share of ups and downs, but has managed to continue her journey with humor, grace, courage, humanity, and a smile on her beautiful face.

Olivia’s story is synonymous with survivorship; it is a source of inspiration to her family, friends, the medical community, and hopefully to others in need. In this book, she speaks to the importance of finding answers, having a community of support, and always keeping hope alive!
