Non-Fiction Memoir
In this brave and deeply personal memoir, one of America’s
most beloved journalists, mother, and New York
Times bestselling author speaks candidly about her
battle against breast cancer, her quest to learn about it
and teach others, and the transformative effect it’s had on
her life. When former Good Morning America
host Joan Lunden was diagnosed with breast cancer, she set
out to learn everything about it to help her survive. With
seven children counting on her, giving up was not an option.
After announcing her diagnosis on Good Morning
America, people all over the country rallied around
Joan as she went into Warrior mode. Within a few months,
after losing her hair, Joan appeared on the cover of
People magazine bald, showing the world she could,
and would, beat the disease. Determined to remain upbeat—to
look in the mirror with a brave face—her resolve empowered
women everywhere. The Today show quickly recruited
Joan as a special correspondent and continues to follow her
progress. A deeply personal and powerful story of
pain, persistence, and perseverance, Had I Known is
a chronicle of Joan’s experience and the plan she formulated
and followed to battle with her disease and treatment. As
Joan reveals, while her journey was not easy, it profoundly
changed her in unexpected ways. Her odyssey helped Joan
redefine herself, her values, and most of all, her health.
Following a new clean way of eating, Joan lost thirty
pounds, became more aware of the food she was eating, and
avoided many of the debilitating side effects of
chemotherapy. Dealing with the cancer also changed her
perception of true beauty. Being attractive isn’t about the
hair on your head—it’s about the strength and character you
bring to everything you do. Positive yet down-to-earth, told
with piercing honesty leavened with warmth and humor,
Had I Known offers unforgettable, inspirational
lessons for us all.
