Olson's artfully taken portrait of each woman is accompanied by a story that is sometimes deeply intimate. Meet Michelle, 58, a breast cancer survivor; Jessica, 29, a recovering anorexic; and Alice, 95, a senior citizen:
"When I go out without my wig, all people see is my bald head, and it scares them. Luckily, I've found that the more I open my heart to other people, the easier maintaining my weight and adapting to being bald becomes. We all have something. Mine's just more obvious."
"I never thought it was okay to love my body, and I couldn't say it was beautiful, because even if even one person didn't agree, then it couldn't be true. I felt as though my body was owned by the outside world."
"At my age, pain frustrates me. But I'm to busy to dwell on problems. This is the body I was given, and it has served me well. I never thought about loving it, but I have accepted it."
