Book Description
On December 7, 2001, thirty-five-year-old Kimberly Fairchild's world turned upside down when she heard the life-changing words, "You've got cancer." I'd Give My Left Boob for That ... Oh, Wait, I Already Did details one woman's journey before, during, and after her courageous battle with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, the most common form of breast cancer. With no family history and a fairly healthy life, Fairchild shares how she got past the shocking diagnosis and subsequently relied on laughter and humor to help her through one of the most difficult and darkest times of her life.

Written with the desire to help others, this eye-opening glimpse into the world of breast cancer shares the compelling story of how an ordinary girl fought the extraordinary fight of her life-and won.

Taking a Gamble is a flirty and funny romantic comedy about what happens when your life takes a turn and best friend’s twin starts hitting on you. He’s my best friend’s twin brother. I’m a bride who no longer has a groom. Who knew one single weekend in Vegas could change everything about your life? Not me. I went there to get married. That was the plan anyway. Until it wasn’t anymore. I’d picked the perfect dress, found an awesome venue, and invited my closest friends to share the big day with me. Only one thing was missing. My groom. That’s right. We called it quits. Some things just aren’t meant to be. And some things are. So I’m headed to what would’ve been my wedding weekend with my bestie and the rest of the group. What better city than Vegas to leave it all to chance? Maybe that’s how I woke up as Gabby Thomas and went to bed Mrs. Brennan …
