There are a lot of books available about breast cancer but none as personal and intimate as Genae Girard's "Off The Rack". Ms. Girard takes readers on her unexpected journey with the "alien" that has entered her thirty- something year old body without invitation. With heart and humor, Ms. Girard shares with us very personal feelings about her diagnosis, treatment and reconstruction. Until I read this book I had no idea what breast cancer patients experience. Though no one can fully understand without walking in their shoes, I certainly understand a lot more after reading this book.

I have had the pleasure of meeting the author and must say that the book is just as dynamic as she is. Her book is written in a conversational manner and speaks to everyone who has or has had breast cancer. It is realistic, uplifting and such a change from much of what is on the market these days. You will finish the book and want more of the humor and positive attitude. I just hope she keeps writing with this type of style....refreshing and magnetic. Treat yourself to her words and philosophy. You won't be disappointed!

This review is from: Off the Rack: Chronicles of a thirty-something, single, breast cancer survivor. (Paperback)

Even though I was a caregiver through my fiancee's breast cancer, sometimes she didn't or couldn't share everything she felt. Reading this book was eye opening and easy to read, and very humorous at times. Cancer isn't a laughing matter, but the author writes with a humorous tone and through her writing, lightens the seriousness of the situation in a positive way.
