My book "Rise and Shine"
I love a good story.
Funny stories because laughter truly is the best medicine.
Survival stories because they give us strength to endure.
Stories of redemption because they offer hope.
My journey inspired me to write a book entitled “Rise and Shine”.
I've always had a desire to write a book but did not envision it to be a book of this kind.
The book is a culmination of my story, writings and photographs.
It is dedicated to children battling pediatric cancer and to the parents of those children.
During my two-month stay in the reverse isolation unit at Sloan-Kettering, I had the
pleasure of meeting an adorable three-year old boy named Michael.
He spoke with the cutest Southern twang. Every morning, Michael would intercom me
with the greeting “Rise and Shine, Sleepyhead!”.
I share this story in my book. Michael touched my life and so the book is named in his honor.

I feel very blessed that Iíve met Tracey in my life. Not only she is a gorgeous beautiful woman, a colleague whom itís a great pleasure to work with, a remarkably nice, optimistic, amiable person who radiates warmth and friendliness - Iíve found Tracey to be a talented photo-artist, a good writer, and an incredibly inspiring person yet very humble!Her book is simply wonderful. It uplifts, elates, amazes, captivates, instills hope and optimism, and certainly ìrisesî you. Impressive pictures in the book show a genuine talent of a gifted artist, and they easily are embedded forever in oneís recollection. It's Tracey's gift to anyone who needs support and fortitude."

"I thoroughly enjoyed your book as it is so well written, real, and contains a great combination of quotes, proverbs, real life accounts and of course some magnificent photographs. One can really feel the strength and meaning of your words in the photographs. You are a living testament to what it means to deal with and overcome any type of trial or tribulation in one’s life!" Anthony Battuello - Franklin Square, NY
"Tracey and I have worked for the same company for seven and 1/2 years. She has always given me positive energy. Time to time we have discussed many different topics. Little did I know her medical backround. Learning more & more about Tracey has inspired me to buy her book. After reading her book I was so amazed about the person she is. You can learn from Tracey about life. Tracey is an 'INSPIRATIONAL PERSON". When I am feeling some down time, I pick up her book and read and few pages. Life is to short....Just enjoy every moment."
