    About this audiobook

    In 2008, just as Laura Roppé was poised to burst onto the music scene, her doctor called her with news that left her spinning-she had been diagnosed with an extremely aggressive form of breast cancer. Just days earlier, she had signed a dream-come-true contract with a record label; now, she wasn't even sure how much longer she had to live. Never one to back down to a challenge, however, Roppé gathered her courage, took stock of her priorities, and made a decision: Cancer may take my hair, she told herself, but that's all it's getting.

    More than a cancer journey, Rocking the Pink is a quirky, charming, and poignant ode to love, friendship, and music. Roppé is unflinchingly honest and unfailingly funny as she tells the story of her odyssey: from childhood dreamer and giddy valet parker to the Hollywood stars to disillusioned lawyer, wife, and mother; from budding songwriter and late-blooming recording artist to determined cancer survivor. Full of raw emotion and humor that will make you laugh through your tears, Rocking the Pink is a chronicle of discovering one's true self through life's difficult circumstances-and a testament to the hang-in-tough, take-no-prisoners attitude it takes to kick cancer's butt.

      one of the worst books I've read in the past five years. I don't think this book will do anything to help other cancer survivors at all. Avoid.

      I honestly do not know if I got this book thru Goodreads or Library Thing, but I really enjoyed the author’s sense of humor and style of writing. This was one of the better cancer biographies I have read in a long time. I am glad that the book was not all gloom and doom, but it showed a more lighthearted approach. I am such an emotional person and I am glad this book did not make me cry. It is hard to read and points due to knowing that this was something Laura endured. I can relate to a little bit in the book, I am a Cancer Survivor as well, but mine was not as bad as comparison to her. One of the reasons I started on this book is so I could finish it and give it to one of my friends who was recently diagnosed with Breast Cancer and Cervical Cancer. I think this book will give her hope. Thanks for the opportunity to read such a great book!
