The A List draws on author's experiences Roslyn Franken, a survivor and fighter, had a special reason to attend the Dancing in the Streets Festival in The Glebe on August 18th. Franken, whose battle with cancer was won 13 years ago, was there for a book signing - her book signing. The author of 'The A List: 9 Guiding Principles for Healthy Eating and Positive Living. Franken first heard about the festival while discussing possible dates for a signing with Cliff, of The Glebe Apothecary. "And then he mentioned about his event. It was a no-brainer that I should be here," Franken said during an interview. That's because part of the book is based on her struggle with cancer. "The book has two parts: I talk about healthy eating and positive living." Franken said. While the two sections go hand in hand she said, the positive living comes out of her battle with cancer, while the healthy eating comes from her struggels with food and weight issues. It's through many of the things addressed in the book, she said, that she changed her life. "Just healthy eating , just reprogramming my relationship with food," she said. 'The A List' has been out for almost a year, and took nearly as long to write. Franken said. Her parents were huge inspiration in both the book and her life. "My mother, who survived the concentration camps in Nazi Germany, she had cancer for 23 years, and she was only supposed to live two," Franken said. She said her mother told the doctors that Hitler didn't get her, and the cancer wouldn't either. "I think, what a role model she is, a role model for me and an inspiration." Franken said. Franken's father was also a strong survivor, going through his own trials at the time her mother was. "My father was a prisoner of war in Japan." she said. "He survived hat and he's one of the happiest people you could meet, one of the most positive people." Their attitude and strength, she said, was passed down to her and helped shape her life. "I think that a lot of that has to do with my philosophies toward life," Franken said. It was her mother's battle especially that helped her decide how to face her own cancer. "When I was diagnosed with my cancer I had a choice to how I was going to do it," she said. Franken chose to fight - and won. Her book, as a tool for health, is also a branch of her business. "The book is a tool I use for my personalized counseling that I do with people," Franken said. She offers counseling over the phone and through email to clients across the country and through the US. Her business is based on helping people who have food and weight issues of their own. "A lot of what's in the book are the patterns I saw in my client," she said. For potential clients, Franken offers a free change readiness assessment on her website, www.roslynfranken.com, to help people decide whether they're prepared to alter their live. "Sometimes you're not really sure if you're ready to make the changes," she said. During the celebration in The Glebe, Franken said the response to her book was outstanding. "Today lots of people buying it got themselves or as a gift; because really you're giving the gift of good health, right? she said with a smile.
