Description
Author Joelle Burnette will be signing her new book, “Cancer Time Bomb: How the BRCA Gene Stole My Tits and Eggs.” Joelle tells what it was like to have prophylactic surgeries after testing positive for the BRCA genetic mutation.Balancing a serious subject with sarcasm and humor, she chronicled her 3-year odyssey as she justified slicing away healthy parts of her body (ovaries and breasts) that had high odds of producing cancer. All the while, her sister was facing her second breast cancer while her father’s health deteriorated. Caring for everyone was Joelle’s mother who played the strongest supportive role.
“Cancer Time Bomb is anything but depressing…the book offers an intimate, messy and at times hilarious family portrait.”
- J Weekly

“A brave story.”

“No matter how angry, bitter, profane, hopeful and crazy-brave her book reveals the (author) to be, Burnette never reneges on her promise to tell the truth…”
- Press Democrat
