![]() I was 35 when I was diagnosed and was told ‘you’re so young!’ and yet when I travel around the country and speak about breast cancer, at every event I always meet at least one or two young women in their 20’s who are fighting it! And I wanted to give a voice to those women, and in particular, to show what it might be like for a young, single woman to go through the experience. It’s not just women over forty who get this disease and I wanted to draw awareness to that. Why a story about a 27yr old getting breast cancer?īecause, unfortunately, women in their 20’s are also getting breast cancer. Laura graciously gave of her time to do this interview with my Book Club after we had discussed Reconstructing Natalie. Laura Jensen Walker is a national speaker and the author of several books including Thanks For The Mammogram, Dreaming in Black and White and Reconstructing Natalie, Women of Faith’s Novel of the Year for 2006. ![]()
