Review A "very powerful and important book . . . an impressive achievement." - Jonathan Kirsch, Attorney, Trademarks, Publishing, and Copyright Law Beyond Embarrassment is for everyone who has ever had to face a daunting medical or physical challenge. It is truly inspiring, offering suggestions for managing lifes hurdles. I was engaged with JoAnnes story and have no doubt others will be too. While I was prepared for the books medical content, what really made a lasting impression is JoAnnes honest, forthcoming and will-to-succeed story.
