First came the double mastectomy, resulting in overwhelming pain and a body that would not heal. Over the next eight years, Donna would face twelve more surgeries to repair the damage. While physical and emotional exhaustion wore her down to the point of nearly giving up, her spiritual battle was worse, causing her to withdraw from everyone and doubt even the love of God and her compassionate husband.
