Why I Wore Lipstick to My Mastectomy is written by Geralyn Lucas and tells her cancer story. It's an engaging and thought-provoking memoir.

Lucas's book gives good insight into what it is like for a young woman in today's society facing the loss of something profoundly and foundationally female: a breast. Cancer, that evil in a cell, manifests in many forms. It claims lives like my friend's; it claims breasts and portions of breasts; it crops up in the most unexpected places. But it can never conquer the human spirit, and it will never, EVER, conquer God.
