Bald, Fat & Crazy by Stephanie Hosford 362.1969 Hos

If you can't read the small print on the picture of the cover I will type it so you can read it.  "How I Beat Cancer while PREGNANT with One Daughter and ADOPTING another".

I was tired just reading the front of the book.  I love non-fiction because it is often hard to believe the things that happen to people.  As with most breast cancer stories you see how quickly your life is turned upside-down.  It begins in 2007 with a conversation between Stephanie and Sara, her best friend since high school.  They are discussing going to their high school reunion the following year.  When she pictures what she will look like then she has no idea that a hairstyle will not be given much thought - because she won't have any hair.

Stephanie will be your new hero when you read this book.  She found out that she had cancer before she found out she was pregnant.  Her husband insisted on visiting more than one doctor.  And because of that they found one who felt she could get treatment and have a healthy baby.  Quite the story!  You can tell from the cover of the book that there is also plenty of humor in this book.  It was a fast and interesting read.
