If you've been in extreme circumstances- it doesn't have to be cancer, it can be the death of a spouse, AIDS, anything- and you've been lucky enough to survive, it's incumbent on you to live the best possible life. What's the point otherwise?

that suits Beechman's impassioned, sell-it-to-the-back-row delivery. But

on 'Anything But Lonely', Beechman shows that she's more than a modern
day Merman..." (-People magazine)
