Because They’re Just Boobs After All: A Graphic Memoir of Breast Cancer and Resilience

The truth is not always beautiful. But survival always is.

In this intimate graphic memoir, author Angela Priso uses minimalist vignettes to chronicle a life marked by the relentless cost of womanhood: from the social intrusion of developing breasts and the chaos of young adulthood, to the ultimate, life-altering attack of a cancer diagnosis.

You will witness the disorienting fear of the hospital, the betrayal of your own body, and the incredible challenge of keeping a secret while the world spins on. Told with radical honesty and dark humor, this is the story of how Angela navigated dismissal and trauma in the medical system to discover a fierce, spiritual resilience.

This book is a testament to the transformative courage found not in titles, but in the unwavering human spirit. It is a necessary read for anyone who has fought a battle that words alone cannot carry.
