Book Review: Better: How I Let Go of Control, Held On to Hope, and Found Joy in My Darkest Hour by Amy Robach

Better: How I Let Go of Control, Held On to Hope, and Found Joy in My Darkest Hour Better: How I Let Go of Control, Held On to Hope, and Found Joy in My Darkest Hour by Amy Robach
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Amy Robach's memoir is an honest and revealing account of her breast cancer journey: from initial mammogram, diagnosis, bilateral mastectomy, chemotherapy and breast reconstruction. She has always been a self-motivated, hard-working and driven individual, and these traits helped her work through all that breast cancer entailed. I was amazed to find out that she didn't miss one day of work during the entire 8 months of her treatments. She continued on-air with Good Morning America and even traveled during her chemotherapy to report from the Sochi Olympics. Woven throughout is her message about the importance of having a support group of family and friends to help her through this difficult time.
