Amy: I knew that there was a story here about adult survivors of childhood cancer and the challenges that they all go through. I spent the next few months interviewing childhood cancer survivors, their families and loved ones, doctors, social workers. It was fascinating. There really is this ripple effect that affects not just the patients, but their families and their friends.
Lauren: My goal with this book was to help women anticipate the fact that they are probably going to be back at work before they're physically and emotionally ready to be there, which is what I did end up discovering when I did a lot of research beyond my own experience. I interviewed more than a hundred working moms who had all approaches to work and motherhood and surveyed almost eight hundred.
