Please watch an evening with two authors, Mary Ladd and Grace Talusan, who chronicle their experiences with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in their books: The Wig Diaries and The Body Papers. Both women use contrasting styles of irreverent humor and informed sincerity to wade through the physical complexities and emotional layers that a diagnosis sends rippling across the lives and relationships of the affected women and families. Mary and Grace will speak to the process of writing their memoirs, share excerpts from their works and answer audience questions. All are welcome to watch, including those who have read and not read the books. You will leave this event feeling empowered and will learn how stories can change not only us but also those who hear them.
