Three Daughters, Three Journeys

This book, a fiction, deals with how young women who have inherited BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutations deal with their impending breast or ovarian cancers. Many women—actress Angelina Jolie is an example because she wrote about her struggle with the inheritance of such mutations in an op-ed to the New York Times—follow her example in surgically removing their breasts and ovaries. The book also provides a glimpse of how cancer may be treated in the future through oral consumption of food, rather than going through highly expensive and toxic chemotherapy and radiation.
