The groundbreaking graphic memoir that inspires breast cancer patients to fight back--and do so with style. - "Powerful ... A vibrant, neon chronicle with plenty of attitude ... A triumph of imagination and spirit." --Los Angeles Times
"What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, about-to-get-married big-city girl cartoonist with a fabulous life finds ... a lump in her breast?" That's the question that sets this powerful, funny, and poignant graphic memoir in motion. In vivid color and with a taboo-breaking sense of humor, Marisa Acocella Marchetto tells the story of her eleven-month, ultimately triumphant bout with breast cancer--from diagnosis to cure, and every challenging step in between.
