“Unexpected Blessings is just that...a blessing.

As she learns to love her body, protect it, and rely on it...we learn something too...about grace." -- Nancy. L. Snyderman, M.D. Chief Medical Editor, NBC News
"UNEXPECTED BLESSINGS describes the heroic journey of an extraordinary woman, who has turned her experience with chronic illness into a vehicle for healing others. Throughout history the 'wounded healer' has been the most effective healer, and Roxanne Black is one of the greatest examples of a wounded healer I know. Anyone will be uplifted by her message of hope, courage, and renewal." -- Larry Dossey, MD Author of Healing Words
Roxanne has learned, no doubt the hard way, that some of us inherit the arduous task of paving the road and leveling the bumps for others. Citizens of sickness seek community. She understands. This young woman’s journey offers us a roadmap, for which I am grateful. -- Richard M. Cohen Author of Blindsided
“I have known and worked with Roxanne Black for many years. She is a true survivor and has been one of my teachers and someone I truly admire. Her attitude and will to live are contagious. I feel her desire to help others who are wounded reveals how important our relationships and connections are to our survival. In love's service only the wounded soldier can serve. Read this inspiring book and let it guide you in your life and surviving your difficulties.” -- Bernie Siegel, MD Author of Love, Medicine and Miracles
