Daughter of a survivor- I wrote a book to help children understand a cancer diagnosis

My name is Rebecca (Rivkie) Zeidman and I am a fourth year medical student starting residency in internal medicine at Lenox Hill in New York City in June. I published my book Secrets Are No Fun based on my experience as the daughter of a breast cancer survivor. It’s middle grade (ages 9-12) and fiction but based on true events. It’s uplifting and authentic and is meant to explain everything from diagnosis to treatment in a way that kids can understand. I believe there is a need for a book like this and I hope that my story can fill the void.

Feel free to follow me on Instagram @rivkiestein to learn more about my book and follow my journey to advocate for women’s health! I believe my experience as the daughter of a breast cancer survivor, a previvor, a mother and a medical professional puts me in a unique position to share my story.
