How to Ride a Dragon: Women with Breast Cancer Tell Their Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780973877670)

For breast cancer survivors who have formed dragon boat teams in over 150 communities worldwide, the boat is more than a vessel. Literal and metaphorical, the mythological dragon has become a symbol of battle, regeneration, and the paradoxical nature of disease and wellness. In How to Ride a Dragon, 22 wise women come together to share their profound stories.

Deeply immersed in the world of the mythic imagination, this beautifully-crafted narrative highlights the beauty and spirit of everyday heroism and the power to rise up in the face of mortal adversity.

Written by master storyteller Michelle Tocher, How to Ride a Dragon is an evocative, first-hand exploration of the "dragon" as boat, loving teacher, and ruthless villain. It is steeped in the wise, funny, heartbreaking stories of women who have been both dragon slayers and dragon lovers.
