MARIETTA, GA – For years, Monya Williams searched for answers to a question many people ask after life takes an unexpected turn: Why me?

It was a question shaped by experiences that began long before she was diagnosed with breast cancer at age forty-six.

As a child, Williams endured sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. The effects followed her into adulthood, contributing to years of fear, depression, and struggles with self-worth. When cancer entered her life, it became another chapter in a story already marked by hardship, uncertainty, and the challenge of overcoming painful experiences from the past.

In I CAN-CER VIVE: Live Free, Choose Joy, Williams shares that story with honesty and vulnerability. Drawing from personal journals and life experiences, she recounts her battle with cancer while reflecting on emotional wounds she had carried for decades.

The challenges did not end after treatment. Williams later developed permanent partial facial paralysis and underwent more than thirty surgeries over a six-year period. At times, the physical and emotional toll seemed overwhelming. Yet even through those setbacks, she continued searching for a way forward.

Over time, Williams realized that the question she had been asking was no longer helping her heal.

Instead of focusing on why difficult things had happened, she began asking a different question: How can I live free from here?

That shift in perspective changed the direction of her life.

Rather than allowing trauma, illness, and loss to define her future, Williams chose faith, forgiveness, gratitude, and the daily decision to keep moving forward. Through her memoir, she shares the lessons she learned along the way and the hope she discovered on the other side of survival.
