Goddesses Don't Buy Green Bananas

I just found out about an amazing book! Lesley Daley (fellow equestrian) is the creator of the self-published inspirational book Goddesses Don't Buy Green Bananas, the book that shows the strength and love that the trials of cancer bring forward. It is a collection of Daley's black & white photography of women surviving through cancer and their inspirational stories - a book that Lesley Daley (author/photographer) wished was available when her thirty-five year old husband was diagnosed with cancer. Driven by her own desperate need to find "comfort" with cancer, she produced this book.

Goddesses Don't Buy Green Bananas is a visual journey and a photographic celebration of hope.

Goddesses don't have time to wait for green bananas to ripen - The green bananas are a metaphor for, "live each day, and don't wait around." It's not about dying; it's about living.

It seems like everyone has been affected by cancer in some way, themselves, their loved ones, people they work with. Unfortunately I can relate, cancer took my mother away from me when she was 57.

"Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it." -Helen Keller

The book can be purchased for only $35 + tax and $5 shipping.

Lesley also has a portrait business : photolesley.com. She does beautiful portraits of pregnant women, babies, families and dogs. She recently has started creating black and white portraits of horses.
