About this listen

 THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

Strictly Come Dancing professional and breast cancer and Crohn's awareness advocate Amy Dowden shares her journey from growing up in the Welsh Valleys to dancing on the glittering stage of prime-time television. Through her debilitating illness as a teen and her recent chemotherapy treatment for stage 3 breast cancer, Amy's is a story of an unbreakable spirit with an irrepressible joy for life and dance; she is living proof that our darkest times do not define us.

From her first dance lesson, Amy never wanted to be off the dance floor; when the music is on, nothing else matters, and it has been what has kept her going in the toughest of times. Despite facing the relentless challenges of undiagnosed Crohn's disease through her teens, Amy's love for dance remained unwavering. Her passion led her to win the British Championships with her partner and become the first Welsh professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing.

However, Amy's journey took an unexpected turn when she discovered a lump in her breast just before her honeymoon. Despite undergoing a mastectomy and enduring gruelling chemotherapy, her journey was far from over. Complications arose, and she faced the harsh reality of reduced chances of having children. Yet, through it all, Amy's spirit remained unbroken, fuelled by her love for dance and the unwavering support of her family, friends and supporters.

In Dancing in the Rain, Amy Dowden shares her poignant and deeply personal story, offering solace and inspiration to anyone navigating life's storms. With courage and vulnerability, she reminds us that no matter the challenge, the human spirit can prevail, and that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope.©2024 Amy Dowden (P)2024 Hachette Audio UK Cancer Personal Development Personal Success Physical Illness & Disease Women

My little sister aged just 35 has just been diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma receptive to hormones. Still waiting on some more results to find out what the treatment plan and order will be. I wanted to read this to get more of an understanding of what’s to come, how I can help her through this awful time! Listening to Amy’s story and how she has come out the other side has given me hope that we as a family can get my little sister through this x I also have undiagnosed chrones and I am on medication to control it which most of the time it does but hearing about Amys mine is not as bad. Thankyou for writing this book
