by Geralyn Lucas (Author)

THE BASIS FOR THE 2006 LIFETIME ORIGINAL MOVIE!

"Her book's catchy title belies its substantial content: this is an honest, perceptive memoir from a feisty survivor who's willing to discuss every detail, like getting sick in cabs during chemo treatments, baldness and sex. " - Publishers Weekly

Having recently graduated from Columbia Journalism School and landed her dream job at 20/20, the last thing 27-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 girl 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 where she was driven by fear and uncertainty about the future, 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 moment of her life.

Back Jacket

This book is for any woman who has ever lost anything big.

"A bold memoir." -People

"Surprisingly optimistic and immensely empowering." -Publishers Weekly

"Geralyn Lucas makes you laugh and cry in the very same moment..... Buy this book for yourself, a friend, or any loved one who is enduring the experience of breast cancer. It's like nothing else ever written on the subject." -Lucy Danziger, editor in chief of Self magazine (the founder of Pink Ribbon)

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