|
Item Code: Book/lipstick
|
Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy by Geralyn Lucas is a bold memoir of a strong woman diagnosed with breast cancer at age 27.
Back Cover:
THIS BOOK IS FOR ANY WOMAN WHO HAS EVER LOST ANYTHING BIG
Having recently graduated from Columbia University Journalism School and landed her dream job at 20/20, the last thing twenty-seven-year-old Geralyn expects to hear is a breast cancer diagnosis. And there is one part of the diagnosis that no one will discuss with her: what it means to be a young woman with cancer in a beauty-obsessed culture. Trying to find herself, while losing her vibrancy and her looks, Geralyn embarks on a road to self-acceptance that will inspire all women. Although her book is explicitly about a period of time when she was driven by fear and uncertainty about the future, Geralyn managed a transformation that will encourage all women under seige to discover their own courage and beauty. The important and outrageous lessons of Why I Wore Lipstick come fast and furious with the same gusto that Geralyn has learned to bring to every moment in her life.

"Outrageous and often hilarious ... This is a totally frank, inspiring, and defiant account of undaunted courage."-- Seattle Post-Intelligencer
