Despite the great thing that came of all of Laura’s TV watching, she’s been trying to watch a little less TV and read a few more books, and so when one of her best friends, Julie Grau, sent her a book her new company — Spiegel and Grau, a new division of Random House — was publishing, Laura turned off the tube and opened the exploding Jiffy Bag right up. Inside was PRETTY IS WHAT CHANGES: Impossible Choices, The Breast Cancer Gene, and How I Defied My Destiny by Jessica Queller, and it’s the story of what happened when Jessica, a TV writer (hmmm, maybe that’s why Laura couldn’t wait to start reading), found out she was BRCA-positive — or in other words, that she had the breast cancer gene. Laura would write more but she doesn’t have to because she wrote a review of the book for the breast cancer site she blogs for, www.mybreastcancernetwork.com — click here for the link to the review.
