Overview


The Guidebook You Wish You Had Growing Up to #OwnYourWeird and Love Yourself

Everyone loves the story of a survivor but the road to becoming one requires the curiosity, strength and courage of a warrior. "Living {Cancer} Free" is an auto-biographical story by 15-year cancer survivor, Sara Quiriconi, Live Free Warrior. Self-proclaimed the modern day Holden Caulfield with a cancer twist, Quiriconi cites her history and real-life "cancerous" struggles with anorexia, bulimia, alcohol addiction, lymphoma cancer, divorce, PTSD, unfulfilling jobs, and more.
