Diane Uniman, a 1973 Cheltenham High School graduate, published an award-winning book titled “Bonjour Breast Cancer – I’m Still Smiling!”
The book details her experiences and mindset in dealing with, and eventually overcoming, breast cancer. Since its release in 2019, the book has been #1 on Book Authority’s “Best New Breast Cancer Books to Read in 2020”, Midwest Book Review’s “Reviewer’s Choice”, an International Book Awards Finalist, and a Living Now Evergreen Book medalist for books “created to commemorate world-changing books honored for their contributions to positive global change.”
From the description on Amazon.com:
Written with a deliciously humorous tone, Princess Diane von Brainisfried (aka the award-winning writer Diane Young Uniman) shares a king’s ransom of practical advice and wisdom to find positivity in the face of the challenges posed by breast cancer and everything that goes with it.
This essential guide to beating the breast cancer blues combines von Brainisfried’s own insights with research-based positive psychology strategies, along with wisdom from Socrates, Cherokee legends, and her own Jewish great-grandmother. You’ll reclaim your happiness mojo as she shows you how to go from fear and despair to positivity and optimism.
From diagnosis to chemo, baldness, double mastectomy, radiation–and 3-D nipple tattoos–you will find encouragement and empowerment for your own journey. This is the closest thing to holding your hand through your breast cancer experience that you can get . . . without actually holding hands.
Since 1985, October has been recognized as National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
Uniman, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, is a lyricist, motivational speaker, life coach, poet, opera singer, and criminal justice appeals attorney.
