This Might Surprise You: A Breast Cancer Story

"At 37 years old, with a busy work life and young child in tow, Hayley Gullen wakes in terrible pain, soon to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Entering treatment is, as she later realizes, “the start of a story.” Integrating humor into her earnest, sweet line drawings, Gullen joins other powerful graphic memoirists grappling with the topic, including Marisa Acocella Marchetto with Cancer Vixen and Jennifer Hayden with The Story of My Tits. Through art and openness, Gullen forges her way from feeling like a statistic to expressing herself as more than a body in crisis."
