I’m just starting this page, so there will be more soon. When I write my own book someday, we’re all going on a road trip together.

Pink Ribbon Blues, by Gayle Sulik.
An insightful analysis of the breast cancer awareness movement, its start as a movement for social change, and its transmogrification into a wayward behemoth of pink product merchandising that has turned our disease into a brand, while it has yet to turn out a cure.

Being Sarah, by Sarah Horton.
A candid, real-life memoir of what it’s like to have your world turned upside down by a diagnosis of breast cancer. Not fluffy, not pretty, and certainly not pink. But definitely courageous, humorous and infinitely validating. Selected as a “Highly Commended” book by the British Medical Association for their 2011 Medical Book Awards. Visit her blog at Being Sarah.
