"What happens when a shoe-crazy, lipstick-obsessed, wine-swilling, pasta-slurping, fashion-fanatic, single-forever, 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. Cartoonist Marisa Acocella Marchetto had everything going for her when breast cancer decided to crash the party. But rather than let cancer define her, Acocella Marchetto redefined–and designed–cancer in this true story, describing the realities of breast cancer, chemotherapy drugs and radiation.

Marisa is donating a percentage of the proceeds from this book to The Cancer Vixen Fund and The Breast Cancer Research Foundation®.  Marisa established The Cancer Vixen Fund at St. Vincent's Comprehensive Cancer Center to help women who are uninsured receive the best breast care.
