About the book:

Heroines is a inspiring collection of black & white portraits and poetry that illuminates the trials and spiritual transformation of 21 Minnesota women who have faced breast cancer. Nikpay’s compelling verse reflects her Persian influence in which contradictions and opposing emotions are celebrated as part wisdom and intuitive knowledge.

The book also includes an essay by renowned author Thomas Moore that eloquently guides the reader to shape and influence their healing journey. Moore’s essay entitled How To Be Healed By Your Illness will prove profoundly useful to the newly diagnosed and all those who are touched by breast cancer.

Heroines is published by Orion/Zenith Services Inc., a nonprofit social services agency based in the Twin Cities.
