Wren Smith Anderson (Omicron '99) writes children's book in honor of late mother-in-law's battle with breast cancer


Wren Smith Anderson (Omicron '99) wrote and illlustrated the book, Sweet Dreams, Anita Bonita, in honor of her late mother-in-law, Anita Anderson, who passed away from breast cancer last July. The book is based on a true story that she wrote about on her cancer blog with CaringBridge while she was undergoing her chemotherapy treatments. You can read more about at it and purchase books online at http://www.anitabonitabooks.com/.

This short, sweet little story exemplifies how much Anita loved life and how she could put a smile on anyone’s face. It was an inspiration to those who laughed and cried with her. Eighty percent of proceeds will go to the Anita Conchin Anderson Foundation in care of Tennessee Bank & Trust. This foundation has been established in her honor and memory to further the various interests Anita had for children, education, and breast cancer awareness. Please share this link with other sisters and friends.

This is so beautiful. My mother-in-law passed away in June. I took care of her also. It's a wonderful legacy you have left her. Can you share also a site to raise cancer funding, in which 100% of the funds raised go to help pay for cancer treatment. It is www.HealthDance.net, An explanation blog is www.HealthDancer.blogspot.com. I need to get out the word for the Dancer's Cancer Fund.Thanks for considering me. It is a way to raise funds for your cause, also, and it's free to set up. It was created by "Together We Can Change the World, Inc." to raise funding. You may e-mail me if you have any questions at christiandancearts@gmail.com. God Bless You!
