Pretty Is What Changes: Impossible Choices, The Breast Cancer Gene, and How I Defied My Destiny

The subject matter of this book made for a difficult read, but I was really curious about the author's journey. After watching her mother die of cancer, the author took a test to find out that she was positive for a mutated gene that caused an increase in her chance of getting breast cancer. She had to make a difficult decision as to have preventative surgery to lower her risk. It was definitely one of those books where I wanted to cry at certain points, just to let off some of the pressure--I can only imagine what the actual situation was like! This is probably an important book for women to read, but enter into it knowing what you'll be reading about.
