What are some inspirational books about breast cancer?

I have a classmate of mine whose mom was diagnosed with breast cancer within the past year. I’m a junior nursing student in a 4-year college, and when we had a lecture on cancer my classmate cried through the whole thing.

I’m thinking for the daughter – Breast Cancer: Daughters Tell Their Stories – Julianne S. Oktay
For the husband/dad – Breast Cancer Husband: How to Help Your Wife (and Yourself) during Diagnosis, Treatment and Beyond-
And for the mother – Chicken Soup for the Soul Healthy Living Series: Breast Cancer: important facts, inspiring stories

I really don’t know if I should get that book for the mom or a different one. Any better ideas? Any better ideas for the family?
I have a hard time believing that a male has ‘used’ books about breast cancer. (see below: “These are the ones I used”) There aren’t very many males out there with breast cancer. Don’t lie when responding to my post. Just tell the truth.
