have just two simple words to share with author Jackson Hunsicker for her efforts in creating this book. Thank You!
I know that the author put herself at great financial risk to create this book and I hope she now is recovering all of her expenses and then some. I hope you make millions Jackson. This book was just what I needed. I found it first in my oncologist’s office and then I bought myself a copy and then I bought my aunt a copy and then my neighbors came by and took my copy for friends of theirs. Everybody knows somebody who’s had a cancer diagnosis.
Every woman diagnosed is now experiencing one of her most vulnerable moments–a diagnosis of cancer quite possibly steals your future, frightens you beyond believe, and its harsh treatments rob you of your beauty, your pride–your hair. But that just simply isn’t true. Many cancers are cured. The fear eventually wanes. And the hair will grow back. But in the meantime, being bald is beautiful. Witness the perfect scalp, the shape and character of the head, the prominence of the eyes and the lips, and admire those cheekbones. Women who don’t have hair have nothing to fear for they are all experiencing a new level of beauty and this book with its glorious portraits is affirmation.
I met a woman this past summer. My hair was coming back. Her’s was still gone. She was hiding beneath an ugly wig. I encouraged her to remove her wig. “Oh, look how beautiful you are,” I told her. And her smile radiated. We woman, we’re so much more than just a head of hair, we’re strong, vibrant, radiant creatures and our hair is just that, hair.
Jackson Hunsicker THANK YOU so much for making me proud to go bald (I paid $600 for my wig. The insurance wouldn’t reimburse it. I never wore it. Anybody want it?)
