This is the true story of breast cancer. Not from the lens of thankfulness for what personal awakening cancer might bring. Screw that, cancer sucks. This is a raw tale of what it is really like from a person who went through it. Monica was diagnosed with breast cancer at 44, while undergoing her very first mammogram ever. This book chronicles her experiences from the phone call letting her know of her diagnosis, to all the doctor's visits, the chemotherapy, radiation and swift kick into menopause. This is the story they don't tell you. What it's really like to lose your hair, taste, bowels, identity, and control. From the nuances of the doctor's visits, the non-politically correct questionnaires, figuring out how to tie a scarf, to the feeling like you are no longer you, but instead you are "e;the one with cancer."e; Shade of Pink is told with humor and candidness, written as much for the caregivers and friends as for patients. It is a must read for anyone touched by the tight grip of cancer.

Dream in a Suitcase unravels a fast-paced journey of survival, resilience, and the power of love. It is the first English language memoir of a female Romanian-American survivor of the worst communist dictatorship behind the Iron Curtain. The story offers a rich multicultural mosaic of a life divided not only between two cultures and languages, that of the heroine's native Romania and her adoptive US but also between Chicago's urban culture and that of a small town in Virginia marked by a heavy confederate history. This book is deeply relevant for our times as it offers an opportunity for American-born audiences to develop a deeper understanding for all those who arrived in this country as refugees in search of freedom, peace, and different versions of the American Dream. ENDORSEMENTS: "e;An extraordinary memoir of fortitude and freedom, a narrative that is vibrant and lyrical. Radulescu takes us from Romania's dark dictatorial past to the world of literature and beauty, back to the landscapes of her beloved native country, then to her new home in America, and always to the geography of the earth. This is an extraordinary read and a covenant to the power of truth and words."e; Marjorie Agosin, award-winning author of I Lived on Butterfly Hill. "e;Domnica Radulescu is a courageous writer. Dream in a Suitcase, like her other novels, is a breathless read."e; Andrei Codrescu, NPR commentator, award-winning poet, and filmmaker.
Imagine being an "e;other woman"e;, and then finding out that you're not the only one. There have been many other women, before you and even standing alongside you right now. Jack learned early that one is never enough. Each chapter tells the experience of someone affected by Jack's trysts. Some of the women are married, some single, some divorced. The ages vary as Jack grows older. Then the reach goes further, to the ripple effect of hurt caused by infidelity. There is an adult son Jack never knew he fathered. There's also a bartender on the cusp of meeting the woman of his dreams, only to have Jack whisk her away by saying just the right thing. And there is a doctor who is shocked by Jack's abandonment of her patient, one of the 'other women' with breast cancer. There are the first two wives, who run into each other thirty years after the first was replaced by the second. And there is the third wife, who is still married to Jack. Jack's mother also speaks, at the beginning and the end. All Told tells more than the story of infidelity. It goes beyond the typical triangle of husband, wife, and lover. As the stories grow and involvements become more interconnected and convoluted, the question of who is cheating on who and why becomes more difficult to answer. Each chapter reveals another secret. But every secret has two sides, and in some cases, even more than that.
