Emily Thomas was 38 - and mother to a newborn baby - when she received the life-changing news that she had stage IV de novo metastatic breast cancer.
Following her diagnosis, Emily began writing poetry, documenting her experience with searing vulnerability and authenticity. She shared her poems via her Instagram page, quickly gaining a following of women going through similar experiences.
Now, posthumously collated and curated by her friends and family, Emily's poems find a new home in this beautiful, fully-illustrated collection. Through moments of disbelief, shock, anger, guilt, hope and even joy, she provides a unique insight into her journey and how it affected the lives of everyone around her.
In partnership with Make 2nds Count, this collection of healing words represents the author's immense gratitude and unfaltering zest for life, embodying her mantra: "whatever happens, all this will be okay".
