Divine Strength of Mind tells the story of Raj Williams's life-threatening illnesses
of Olympian proportions and the way they affected her life. It also touches on her
life in India and America and how this background shaped her to be a strong-willed
person who knows no fear and believes in the strength of prayers. She is convinced
that her recovery from major illnesses would not have been possible if it had not
been for her strong faith in God and her incredible network of support from her
family, friends, and neighbors.
Raj was first diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2003, which was mostly removed the
same year. Since she was pregnant at the time of surgery, however, the tumor was not
completely removed and started to grow back; she therefore had to undergo a second
surgery in 2007. One week before her second surgery, Raj was diagnosed with breast
cancer, for which she had cancer surgery in 2008, followed by chemotherapy and
radiation the same year.
Raj attributes her survival from these major illnesses to her faith in God, her
mother's prayers, great doctors, and a huge support system comprising of friends
and neighbors in Annapolis, Maryland. Raj believes she had the best doctors, the
best of friends, and neighbors a person can have, and that it took the joint eff ort of
all these individuals to heal her!
"Your book is really quite something. Reading your book gives me further insight
into what you went through with both your brain tumor and breast cancer. How you
wove this into your entire life is fascinating"
Dr. Stanley Watkins, Jr., M.D., Annapolis Oncology Center
"Now that I have read your book, I can tell you this... Unbelievable! It's hard
to even imagine one person going through all that you have. You are one tough
cookie! It's like a movie, except that I know it all to be true. Your words can be very
motivational".
