The book draws on my experience of using life coaching myself and with clients. I have combined this with exercises to encourage the reader to think creatively about how they would like their life to be – and then plan how to make this happen. Jacky Pratt, a fellow life coach, was kind enough to read the manuscript for me and has written these comments: “Mary’s book is a fine balance between guidance and useful coaching exercises, with some lovely story-telling thrown in. She focuses on topics which are favourites of mine, like the value of gratitude and developing creativity, and she quotes many of my favourite authors. There is an inspirational section reflecting on her own personal journey from cancer to coaching. This is much more than just a ‘how to’ coaching book – it is a very readable story, benefiting greatly from the inclusion of her own personal learning from her coaching experience.” (More reviews here.)

‘Flying in the Face of Fear: Surviving cervical cancer’
‘It can happen to anyone’: 15 women tell of how they survived cervical cancer.
For anyone diagnosed with cancer, one of the first questions is: ‘Who can I talk to?’ When this happened to Mary Lunnen, she could find no one who had been through the same thing. Now clear of cancer, Mary has compiled the stories of 14 other women with her own in this book, in which you can hear the voices of people going through treatment, as if talking with friends. The stories will have different meanings for every reader, there are sad and difficult moments, but also inspiring and encouraging ones. Not everyone may wish to take up wing-walking like Delia, but her photograph on the cover dramatically illustrates that we can all achieve our ambitions. The aim of this book is to help everyone going through the experience, women themselves. families, and friends, to show how life goes on, and even improves, after cancer. Price £7.95 + £2.00 post & packing = £9.95 (price includes 50p donation to CancerBACUP)
