More Than Words: Bestselling authors & Real–life heroines

We all have the power to effect change – we just need to find the strength to harness it. With every good deed done, and helping hand offered, we are making the world a better place. The dedicated women selected as this year's recipients of Harlequin's More Than Words award have changed many lives for the better, through their compassionate hearts and unshakable commitment. To celebrate their accomplishments, bestselling authors have written stories inspired by these real–life heroines.

In this book, Betina Krahn honours the work of Donna Fischer, the Arizona program coordinator for Casting for Recovery, a national non–profit organization that runs fly–fishing retreats for women who have or have had breast cancer.

We hope More Than Words inspires you look inside your heart and to get in touch with the heroine inside of you.
