Nancy G. Brinker today
Crown Archetype is proud to publish , the powerful and inspiring memoir by , founder and CEO of
for the Cure &, the global leader of the breast cancer movement.
Growing up, Nancy and her sister Suzy were inseparable, with the elegant, socially poised Suzy serving as younger sister Nancy's best friend and role model. Then in 1977, at the age of thirty-four, Suzy was stricken with breast cancer. Three years later, having endured an uninformed doctor, surgeries that left her feeling mutilated and stripped of her sexuality, and fighting through several grueling courses of chemotherapy and radiation, Susan G. Komen lay dying. Toward the end, she begged her sister to do something, anything, to make sure that other women with breast cancer would not have to suffer as she had from the ravages of this disease.
"Promise me, Nanny," she said. "Promise me you won't let it go on like this."
Her heart broken, Nancy promised: "I swear, Suzy. Even if it takes the rest of my life."
At that moment, Susan G. Komen for the Cure was born.
is the story of how that vow launched Nancy on a thirty-year-long mission to change the way the world thought of, spoke of, and treated breast cancer. Brinker's unparalleled success at turning $200 and a list of would-be donors into a movement that has saved the lives of millions of women was recognized by President Obama in August 2009, when he awarded Brinker the Presidential Medal of Freedom. "In the months after making that promise," the President noted, "Nancy lay awake at night wondering if one person can really make a difference. Nancy's life is the answer."

LUTHER VANDROSS LYRICS
"Promise Me"
I can only speak for
The things that I've been through
So when it comes to our love
I'll talk the whole night through
About the lovin' I've been missin'
Lately, baby I ain't had no kissin'
Don't you love me
Can we stay together
Like when we used to be in love
But now you've got your head on another cloud
Girl, we had a good thing
But now you've turned around
Don't you even care how this love
We've had turns out
(Promise me, you'll leave me never)
(That we'll be in love forever)
(Promise me, you'll leave me never)
(And that we'll be in love forever)
We can work at our love
And make it all brand-new
If we stay together
There's nothing we can't do
Improve the lovin' is what I'm seeing
Let's do it baby
Don't fight the feeling
Won't you love me
Can we stay together
[Repeat Bridge and Chorus]
Forever, ever, promise me you'll leave me never
Won't you promise me (That you'll leave me never)
Promise me, forever and ever, and ever
