BRIGHT NOW ARCHIVE

March 30, 2008



We're very excited to share some really exciting news! For all of you readers, or even those who haven't picked up a book in years, you must check out Pretty is What Changes: Impossible Choices, The Breast Cancer Gene, and How I Defied My Destiny by Jessica Queller, who is a writer/producer of Gossip Girl and is extremely committed to Bright Pink, what we stand for and spreading our message.

Eleven months after her mother succumbs to cancer, Jessica Queller has herself tested for the BRCA "breast cancer" gene mutation. The results come back positive, putting her at a terrifyingly elevated risk of developing breast cancer before the age of fifty and ovarian cancer in her lifetime. Superbly informed and armed with surprising wit and style, Queller takes us on an odyssey from the frontiers of science to the private interiors of a woman's life. Pretty Is What Changes is an absorbing account of how she reaches her courageous decision and its physical, emotional, and philosophical consequences. It is also an incredibly moving story of what we inherit from our parents and how we fashion it into the stuff of our own lives, of mothers and daughters and sisters, and of the sisterhood that forms when women are united in battle against a common enemy. Learn more and purchase the book at www.JessicaQueller.com.

All the best and brightest,
