"Nancy Drew is funny, very funny--she is even funnier than that. She thinks funny and she draws funny and when you talk to her on her cellular phone she sounds funny. You would be making a serious mistake if you didn't walk out of the store with this book."

-Art Buchwald, Satirist

"A grand celebration of life...."

-Susan Visser, Executive Director, South Bend Regional Museum of Art

"The Artful Spirit glows with creative energy and its style is galvanized in the positive outlook of " I too can do this." This one volume has more dandy, wonderful and funny ideas for getting out of the rutted grooves of life than all the self-help books on the shelves today."

-William Lewis, Former Professor and Dean
University of Michigan School of Art

Be Your Own Angel This is the essence of Nancy Swan Drew's inspiring little volume about her experiences coping with breast cancer. She is not only coping, but manages to rise above the fear and heartache that walk hand-in-hand with this journey. Her remarkably upbeat outlook coupled with her whimsical drawings and unique sense of humor offer a truly different prescription for living with the diagnosis and treatment. Suggestions for lifting morale include crafts, mini-vacations, redecorating, putting yourself first, prayer, and relaxation.

"BE YOUR OWN ANGEL is filled with wisdom and insight, and... (will) help women find the faith and courage to make the journey."
