A Hair's Whisper - From Cancer to the Courtroom ASIN : B0BDVYFX2H
ASIN : B0BDVYFX2H
The dramatic and captivating true story of corporate greed and the bullying of a cancer patient.
When Shirley Ledlie, a breast cancer patient survivor, stands up to one of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and its lawyers, she embarks on a journey of strength and determination, and with an unbreakable sense of duty to do the right thing.
Despite fearing for her safety and standing at a mental crossroads, not knowing which path to take, Shirley shares her innermost thoughts, even those she’s ashamed of, and her rollercoaster of emotions from despair to elation and self-doubt to confidence.
A Hair’s Whisper is a gripping and empowering story that shows what can be achieved when we fight for the truth.
Naked in the Wind
ISBN-9781500136543
Shirley has written an honest, yet compelling account of how she took on the drug giants and the murky medical world of drug trials, doctored statistics, and cover-ups. Oh how I admire her for this and her beautifully written prose. Her deftly woven narrative charts how she tackled the baffling French legal system in a language that isn't her own alongside charming snapshots of her life in rural France. Shirley's fortitude leaps off every page; so many of us would hideaway after not only dealing with cancer but the prospect of life without a glossy mane of hair - not Shirley. Her writing is compelling, funny, and honest. I read this book in one sitting. I've no doubt many more readers - rightly so - will do the same.
Samantha Brick, writer.
Shirley has managed to write a book that's personal, funny, compassionate, entertaining, and informative all at the same time.
A great read!
