You better put your combat boots on because prissy shoes won't do when you walk the road that author Linda Grabeman has walked. In her inspirational, devotional book No Prissy Shoes she shares her thought as she traveled the pink path of breast cancer. Grabeman helps the reader to see God and trust Him while walking taking the breast cancer journey. This subject is ever close to my heart as my mother has traveled this path in recent years.

On the one hand, you know you are not alone: 700 women are diagnosed with breast cancer every day, nationwide. However, when you hear the words "You have breast cancer," you can’t help feeling isolated, lost, and afraid. This breast cancer journey is a scary, steep, uphill climb, and you can't make it in prissy shoes - the ones that worked well when your road was smooth and easy. Your mind races and your head spins from all the facts about your disease - facts that can change daily. The strength and grace needed to walk this journey come by spending time in the Word of God.
No Prissy Shoes shows God's desire and delight for us to walk by faith, trusting Him to give us the shoes we need for the path He has prepared for us. Author Linda Grabeman shares her personal experience with breast cancer and directs readers back to the One who brings the strength to overcome.
