I wanted to share that there's a great book coming out on Sept 21, 2007 called "Soraya: A Life of Music, A Legacy of Hope".   It's the story of Latin Grammy winner Soraya, who was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer at 31.  

This memoir chronicles the devastating toll breast cancer took on the beloved women in her family, including her mother, grandmother and aunt, as well as her rise to fame, her fight for survival, and the battle she fought through her final hours to empower women worldwide to take charge of their breast health.  

Soraya follows the singer-songwriter's inspiring life from her early days as a Colombian-American girl growing up in New Jersey to her worldwide fame in South America, parts of Europe and here in the U.S. At the height of her career she was traveling and performing alongside superstars like Sting, Alanis Morrisette and Natalie Merchant, when she discovered a lump in her breast. 

The book is available at www.amazon.com starting September 21, 2007. Royalties from this book owed to Soraya's estate will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®, which was Soraya's wish.
