There are more than 300,000 European childhood cancer survivors (in 2020, they will be nearly half a million): two-thirds of them have some late side effects of treatment, that are severe and impact on the daily life of half of those affected.

In a groundbreaking and deeply inspiring graphic memoir, Marisa Acocella Marchetto invites readers into her world, where the vibrant hues of her life collide with the stark reality of a breast cancer diagnosis. With an attitude that defies adversity, she takes us on a journey of resilience, humor, and courage that is nothing short of remarkable.
Marisa is a woman with an unabashed love for all things stylish—shoes, lipstick, wine, pasta—and she’s on the cusp of marrying the love of her life. Her big-city existence is a whirlwind of fashion, fabulousness, and fun. But then, an unexpected twist of fate enters her life: the discovery of a lump in her breast.

In the face of adversity, Marisa proves that strength can be found in the most unexpected places. Her story is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the power of laughter to heal. It’s a narrative that not only educates and uplifts but also challenges stereotypes and taboos surrounding breast cancer.
