RESURRECTION LILY: The BRCA Gene, Hereditary Cancer & Lifesaving

Whispers from the Grandmother I Never Knew

A story of inheritance and intuition, of what can surface in the body

and the spirit when linked by DNA.

Winner of 14 independent Book Awards and a book club selection

of The National Library of Medicine.

“A deeply intimate story of personal discovery, I recommend this book for anyone looking to find
out more information about hereditary cancer and the Ashkenazi population. Readers will also

find the additional resources and charts useful. This book is appropriate for a public library, but

it is an especially important resource for synagogue libraries to have in their collections as well.”

Laura Schutzman, Association of

Jewish Libraries Publications Chair

“Resurrection Lily is as helpful a book

as you will find on the topic of BRCA
mutations. Amy Byer Shainman has

deftly intertwined crucial scientific

information with moving stories of
how she, her family and her friends

have navigated this complex genetic

issue.”
