A happy heart is good medicine On October 8, 2015, Victoria Jackson was getting ready for a 45-minute stand-up routine. But instead of enjoying the pre-show excitement, she was laying on the couch in the green room coughing nonstop. Victoria had many scary moments growing up: doing a back handspring on the four-inch balance beam; performing stand-up comedy; auditioning for Saturday Night Live; and getting held at gunpoint in downtown Los Angeles. But being told she had cancer was her scariest moment. Join Victoria for twenty-one days as she: - wonders 'why me?' and if her lollipop addiction caused the cancer - writes a ukulele song in the MRI waiting room - undergoes a double mastectomy with secret messages written in permanent marker to her doctor - goes through chemotherapy, radiation, baldness, wigs, wigs, and more wigs - discovers that Jesus is enough - performs at Zanie's to a standing ovation nearly one year after her diagnosisIf you are one of the one-in-eight women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, or if you know someone who has been, this 21-day devotional is full of humor, insight, and comfort as you walk with God through this dark valley.

VICTORIA JACKSON is best known for her six seasons on Saturday Night Live and has appeared in many films. Victoria was raised in a Bible-believing, piano-playing home with no TV. While at college on a gymnastics scholarship, Victoria discovered drama. Johnny Carson's talent scout saw her six-minute stand-up comedy act and put her on the Tonight Show where she appeared over twenty times. In 1992 Victoria was reunited with her high school sweetheart and left show business to raise a family in the suburbs of Miami. Victoria still performs stand-up comedy and appears in an occasional film. She and her husband now reside in Nashville, Tennessee, to be near their daughters and grandchildren.
