Dreams can quickly turn into nightmares when they make omens about our health and wellbeing. For one woman specially attuned to her own dreams, the ominous signs and sights in her dreams would confront her with a difficult truth–that she had breast cancer.

In Guided by Angels, author Heather Macdonald chronicles her emotional journey discovering her cancer and finding the strength and resolve to not only endure but to flourish as she seeks healing. Sharing the coping tools and strategies she learned on the way, Heather explores how alternative healing therapies and a focus on holistic, spiritual healing helped her to carry on through her tough journey.

Anyone who has a friend or relative going through cancer may find helpful coping skills in Heather’s story, which can promote positivity and healing of the mind, body, and soul.
