    Help Launch Breast Cancer Awareness Month with special guest Gail Konop Baker. Based on her popular Literary Mama column, Cancer Is A Bitch is the author’s raw, moving account of juggling midlife, motherhood, and marriage with a rogue boob.

    Baker is busy on her novel - with a protagonist she happens to have diagnosed with breast cancer - when real life intervenes. Shocked by a diagnosis of breast cancer herself, the 45-year-old mother of three begins a yearlong struggle to combat and comprehend the turn her life has taken. As Baker grapples with the demands of motherhood and marriage, she also begins a relentless search to find the cause of her disease and head off its recurrence in the future. In this heartfelt memoir, Baker proves to be both humorous and compassionate, as when a friend is diagnosed with colon cancer.
