Written with a deliciously humorous tone from her “palace desk,” Princess Diane Von Brainisfried (aka the multi-award-winning screenwriter Diane Uniman) shares a king’s ransom of practical advice and wisdom to find positivity in the face of the challenges posed by breast cancer and everything that goes with it.

This essential guide to beating the breast cancer blues combines Von Brainisfried’s own insights and epiphanies with research-based positive psychology strategies, along with wisdom from Socrates, Cherokee legends, to her own Jewish great-grandmother. You’ll reclaim your happiness mojo as she shows you how to go from fear and despair to positivity and optimism.

From diagnosis to chemo, baldness, double mastectomy, radiation —and 3-D nipple tattoos—you will find encouragement and empowerment for your own journey. This is the closest thing to holding your hand through your breast cancer experience that you can get . . . without actually holding hands.
