My little sister Lucy Grealy died in New York on December 18 2002, at the age of 39. She had accidentally taken an overdose of heroin. Her life had been hard, but she had also experienced more joy than many. As a child, she was diagnosed with a cancer in the bone of her jaw.
What type of cancer did Lucy Grealy have?
Grealy described how she underwent surgery at 9 for what seemed to be a dental cyst, but which led to a diagnosis of Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare and virulent cancer. After several more operations, half her jaw was gone, and only flesh remained on the lower right side of her face.
Who wrote book about Lucy Grealy?
In Truth & Beauty, written after Grealy’s death, the story isn’t about Lucy’s life or Ann’s life, but the parts of their lives they shared. A portrait of unwavering commitment, Patchett’s memoir spans twenty years, from the long winters of the Midwest, to surgical wards, to book parties in New York.
