In early 2006, Lia Mills went to the dentist, worried about a painful lump in her cheek. "In Your Face" is her account of what happened next. Based on the journals she kept even when she was feeling her worst, it is a book that should be read by anyone who wants to understand illness and recovery, fear and hope and love.

A brutally honest, touching and occasionally laugh-out-loud funny account of one woman's journey with cancer. Lia finds a lump, a sore that won't go away in her mouth and finds herself undergoing radical surgery and radiotherapy to fix things. She keeps notes and a diary and this is the result, a story of her travel through cancer and her voyage to the new world of post-cancer self. Well written, I look forward to reading more by her.
