by Hillary Fogelson (Author)

Pale Girl Speaks is the darkly funny story of Fogelson's neuroses and struggles after her diagnosis with skin cancer. In her witty, wisecracking narrative, Fogelson recounts how her battle with cancer brings up other issues in her life that she's been ignoring, especially her anxieties about her relationship with her husband, her friends, and her parents. The apprehension she feels soon manifests itself in more concrete ways--panic attacks, heavy reliance on alcohol, and a compulsive need to constantly check in with her doctor--but when her father discovers that he has melanoma as well, Fogelson has to learn to lead by example and let go of her fear. A story that will appeal to anyone who has faced adversity and lived to tell jokes about it, Pale Girl Speaks is about one woman who experienced the worst possible fallout of being fair-skinned--and survived with her sense of humor intact.
