With grace, grit and humor, TV journalist and full-time mom Ann Murray Paige documents her own journey with stage 2 breast cancer. Through nine months of medical treatment, this luminous Everywoman goes through hell and keeps going, fighting to maintain a sense of herself as a woman, mother, wife and professional. Director and award-winning TV news correspondent Linda Pattillo seamlessly tracks the simple desire to live and love that carries Paige through the emotional and physical ups and downs on the way to remission. — C.
