From Abuse to Cancer to Facial Paralysis, One Woman Chooses to Live Free<\/div>\n

MARIETTA, GA – <\/strong>Monya Williams’ new memoir, I CAN-CER VIVE: Live Free, Choose Joy<\/a>, is a powerful account of survival shaped by trauma, illness, and an unwavering decision to live with joy.<\/p>\n

Diagnosed with breast cancer at forty-six while training for a marathon, Williams endured more than thirty surgeries, including a double mastectomy, hysterectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. Complications led to a tumor in her inner ear and, ultimately, permanent facial paralysis.<\/p>\n

But her story began long before cancer. Williams is a survivor of childhood physical, mental, and sexual abuse, trauma she believes lived in her body for decades. Her memoir confronts that past with clarity and courage, tracing the long road from silence to truth.<\/p>\n

Despite unimaginable hardship, I CAN-CER VIVE<\/em> is not defined by suffering. It is a story of forgiveness and reinvention. Williams chose to forgive both her stepfather and her mother, releasing years of pain that once defined her identity.<\/p>\n

Written in short, journal-like chapters, the memoir offers an intimate, unfiltered look at survival and healing. It reflects a simple but powerful truth: trauma may shape a life, but it does not have to define it.<\/p>\n

The title, I CAN-CER VIVE,<\/em> reclaims the word “cancer” into a declaration of strength: I can survive. For Williams, survival was only the beginning. Living freely became the goal. I CAN-CER VIVE: Live Free, Choose Joy<\/em> is now available on Amazon<\/a> in multiple formats.<\/p>\n
