From Karen Lynch at Pink Ribbon Review comes a review of The Faces Behind Breast Cancer, a new picture book featuring portraits of breast cancer survivors in all their diversity with quotes about their experiences. The stories are those of the women and men that author Josephine Caruso Sethi met while undergoing her breast cancer treatment at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center.

On April 8th, Laura Landro of the Wall Street Journal reviewed two memoirs, both by women in their 30's who discover they have the BRCA breast- and ovarian-cancer gene mutation. As they consult doctors, friends and family, they wrestle with questions of health, ethics, family, history and the future.

Review from Amazon.com:
Cartoonist Marisa Acocella Marchetto's graphic memoir about her battle with breast cancer is as bold, vibrant, and brave as she is--pumped full of color, the story leaps off the page and into your heart. Poignant and funny, this inspiring story is made all the more powerful by Marchetto's cartoons. Lucky for us, Marchetto agreed to create a cartoon just for Amazon.com customers. Check out her strip below. --Daphne Durham
