Geralyn Lucas, author of:
Then Came Life - A Memoir of Living with the Same Courage, Spirit, and Humor that Helped Me Survive Breast Cancer
Thursday, April 30, 2015, 11:30 am
Then Came Life is a story of surviving life: coming-of-(middle)-age escapades that will have you in tears from both laughter and sorrow. Geralyn explores the dissonance of facing challenges she was afraid she wouldn’t be alive to have, but also confronts them with a great sense of infectious empowerment and a hilarious voice. Geralyn finds her fighting spirit and leaves behind the trauma of cancer to battle all the rest that life has to throw at her. Then Came Life is NOT a cancer recovery story: it is about re-discovering the resilience, courage, and optimism it takes to reinvent yourself at any age.
Women everywhere—not just cancer survivors—will recognize themselves in Geralyn and her story. It’s one thing to merely survive; it’s another to do it crying and laughing, especially when there’s nothing to laugh about. With the same empowering and funny voice that drew legions of breast cancer survivors to her first book, Geralyn harnesses her “inner cleavage” once again. She shows that the lesson of survivorship holds universal application: it’s a lesson of gratitude, of being your best, of remembering to cry, to smile, to laugh—because every day is a red-lipstick day.
