More about the book

Catherine Lord's journey through breast cancer treatment transforms into a bold exploration of identity and societal stigma. Adopting the persona of Her Baldness, she engages with her audience through humor and candidness, addressing the shame and fear associated with her diagnosis. As she navigates the challenges of chemotherapy and the resulting isolation, her alter ego confronts the prejudices faced by bald women and middle-aged lesbians with life-threatening illnesses, creating a powerful commentary on resilience and self-acceptance.
