Review by Deb Czajkowski
Nobody asks for Breast Cancer. Certainly Sophie Molloy
didn’t. It chose her, a young mother with a six-year-old son. Sassy, sexy,
sensible Sophie has Breast Cancer.
What does one do when
she hears, “You have Breast Cancer”? Some throw themselves pity parties. Lots
of them. Complaining, moaning, and boohoo-ing every step of the way. Some
withdraw from Family, Friends, even Life. They don’t want to be a ‘burden’ to
them. Or they don’t want people to see them ‘like this.’
When Sophie hears these life-changing words, her sensible
side steps immediately up to the plate. “Ok,” she says to her doctor, “I have
Breast Cancer and I want it gone. What do we do first?” Once the plan is in
place, Sassy Sophie leads the charge with her ‘every day’ philosophy that humor—and
a positive attitude—is the best medicine. And she surrounds herself with her
friends and family, allowing them to support and encourage her.
And so begins Sophie’s journey as a woman with Breast
Cancer, along the very bumpy and
windy road (which includes losing her breast, her best friend, her boyfriend,
and her home) to becoming a Breast Cancer survivor.
Amidst the bad and the truly ugly, Sexy Sophie feels less
and less sexy as she loses her breast, and subsequently her long-time partner
rejects her, ultimately leaving her. Then she meets her plastic surgeon, Dr.
Hanson, a.k.a Dr. Handsome to his
staff. It takes all of five minutes for Sophie to fall for the dishy doctor,
and for Sexy Sophie to begin to feel sexy again. But his tender and attentive
care of her confuses her. Does it mean he has feelings for her as well or is
his kindness purely professional? Will he give her a sexy new breast, and then
simply walk away?
Author Lindy Dale is in fact a Breast Cancer survivor. While
Storm in a B cup is fictional, it is
based upon her own breast cancer story. So is her book a tedious and gruesome
litany of horror after Breast Cancer horror? Hardly. Sure, it is a glimpse into
the world of a Breast Cancer sufferer, but Lindy’s laugh-out-loud humor and
positive attitude are purely infectious. In sharing Sophie’s story, Lindy Dale
skillfully balances the seriousness of Breast Cancer and the benefits of humor
(for her own personal sanity as well as the benefit of all those around her)
and positive thinking—powerful all by itself. I learned a lot and enjoyed the
learning. This isn’t a day-at-the beach read. It’s so much more, and entirely
worth the journey.

On a typical day ~ when not at my day job ~ you can find me lurking around Twitter and Facebook so stop by and say hello. I love to hear from readers.
I'm a hopeless U2 and Bon Jovi fan ~ as judged by my collection of tour t-shirts. I'm also rugby union fanatic, coffee and champagne lover, chocoholic, over-exaggerator, trashy TV, music and iPhone addict. If you can't Google it then it's not worth knowing!

I've been writing in the genre of Chick Lit & Women's Fiction for the past ten years and have recently tried my hand at a paranormal romance too! But Chick Lit is my main love. There's nothing like a dose of humor when you're feeling low.

Wow great review. This book sounds right up my alley. My grandma is a 2 time breast cancer survivor. And breast cancer is one of my biggest fears because of that.

Women & Men benefit a lot from this concept of work since they can balance their home and work perfectly. People mostly find that in this situation, their productivity is higher and stress levels lower. Those who like isolation and a tranquil work environment also tend to prefer this way of working. Today, with the kind of communication networks available, millions of people worldwide are considering this option.
Women & Men who want to be independent but cannot afford to leave their responsibilities at home aside will benefit a lot from this concept of work. It makes it easier to maintain a healthy balance between home and work. The family doesn't get neglected and you can get your work done too. You can thus effectively juggle home responsibilities with your career. Working from home is definitely a viable option but it also needs a lot of hard work and discipline.

This is the most common and highly preferred job that Women & Men like doing. Since in today's competitive world both the parents have to work they need a secure place to leave behind their children who will take care of them and parents can also relax without being worried all the time. In this job you don't require any degree or qualifications. You only have to know how to take care of children. Parents are happy to pay handsome salary and you can also earn a lot without putting too much of an effort.
Nursery
For those who have a garden or an open space at your disposal and are also interested in gardening can go for this method of earning money. If given proper time and efforts nursery business can flourish very well and you will earn handsomely. But just as all jobs establishing it will be a bit difficult but the end results are outstanding.

Diet food
Since now a days Women & Men are more conscious of the food that they eat hence they prefer to have homemade low cal food and if you can start supplying low cal food to various offices then it will be a very good source of income and not too much of efforts. You can hire a few ladies who will help you out and this can be a good business.
Thus think over this concept and go ahead.
