Caring for Cynthia Book Event
Amy Blackburn, photographer and author of the book "Caring for Cynthia" will speak at the UA BookStore Tuesday, October 27 at 4:30 p.m. as part of our celebration of National Breast Cancer Awareness month.
About the book:
"Caring for Cynthia" is a photographic essay about breast
cancer, community and caring. This visual educational tool illuminates private moments of breast cancer survival from a caregiver's
perspective.
"Caring for Cynthia" acknowledges real conversations about breast cancer and care giving making it possible for those diagnosed to move from the shame of diagnosis to centeredness in a responsive community built around vulnerability. Through the book's short stories and photography, a caregiver can experience freedom from feeling helplessness and uncertainty to a feeling of a valued companion on a privileged journey with a loved one.
This project collaborates with institutions, organizations and private members of the community keenly interested in raising awareness and inspiring dialogue regarding the care of others.
