Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To hear the word 'cancer' connected to your daughter, sister, or mother can be very frightening. Christine Morgan's family had always experienced excellent health and led an active lifestyle. Suddenly, the diagnosis of breast cancer threw her family into unfamiliar territory. A family accustomed to doing things together, they had no experience to face the throes of breast cancer and didn't know how to cope or help one another through the battle. Now, several years later, Author Morgan wants to help other families find the courage and strength to get through their own breast cancer battle, or any other type of cancer. She chronicles the fears of the realities and the unknowns, the shift from a happy-go-lucky family to a family with many tears, the family's disagreements for medical care, the various medical options available and finally she shares the family's plan to work together as a team to help her sister through this battle. My Sister Has Breast Cancer! is a heartfelt, touching and informative compilation of Author Morgan's journal entries, which she maintained through her family's own battle with breast cancer. Christine Morgan's book will inspire and comfort the reader through any crisis. Christine is a busy woman with a large and close-knit family, who works in many different arenas to help others.

Christine and her husband, Eddie, reside in Clovis, California where they enjoy spending time with their three married children and seven grandchildren.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A bold memoir” of one young woman’s courageous battle with breast cancer—the basis for the Emmy-nominated Lifetime movie starring Sarah Chalke (People). Having recently graduated from Columbia 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 of self-acceptance that will inspire all women. Although her story is explicitly about a period of time when she was driven by fear and uncertainty, Geralyn managed a transformation that will encourage all women under siege 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 aspect of her life.
