With wit, candor and ebullience, actress-singer-comedienne Phyllis Newman blends Broadway magic, domestic comedy and the painful reality of a double mastectomy in a story of stardom and survival. "A compelling book...there is anger - real, screaming anger that gradually resolves itself into understanding...tempered as always by humor." -The New York Times Book Review
