Loved this book!
I just finished reading "It's Not About the Hair" by Debra Jarvis. The title caught my eye so I ordered it without knowing anything about it. She writes about her personal breast cancer experience in a very clever, funny and inspiring way. I could relate to so much of what she wrote. Don't be fooled by the fact that she is an ordained minister - she is not afraid to throw in a little "colorful" language here and there. So if that doesn't turn you off you just may enjoy it as much as I did.
