“But, your hair will grow back.”
Connie E. Curry endured this comment daily from her family and friends as her hair slowly grew a ½ inch a month.
Give Me Back My Glory leads readers on a raw, yet therapeutic romp through her battle with breast cancer. From her diagnosis to reconstruction, readers will discover her fright but yet humor, and the importance of relationships with doctors, sometimes with surprising results. Laugh when she shares about her daughter grabbing the cheap hair clippers and exclaiming, “Mom, this is for all the times you cut my bangs crooked.”
Over 200,000 women are diagnosed with breast
cancer each year, and most fear it and crave information beyond
pamphlets or cold Internet data, as do their support givers. Give
Me Back My Glory educates with laughter, tears and
inspiration.
Curry, having a background in the medical
field, addresses diagnosis, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation,
sexuality, weakness and courage in a wholesome yet realistic way. Give
Me Back My Glory is particularly relevant to working
moms; those struggling with midlife, menopause, parenting and marriage
along with breast cancer.
As the recipient of the James Thurbor Humor Writing Contest, a columnist, working mother, and freelance writer, Curry hopes, through relating her raw and realistic experience, women will take charge of their life and their illness with a positive attitude thus speeding the healing of mind and body.

it baby. Jackie Blair----Radnor, Ohio
Hey Connie, I had to send you a
note. My sister, Toni Kitchen, let me borrow her copy of your book. I
started reading it this week and didn't want to put it down until I was
finished. Fantastic work!!! I got angry with you; laughed my butt off;
and cried rivers as I was reading it. All my best to you. Can't wait to
read your next book.---Dawn Williams
Connie, I finished your book. I had
to take some extra long lunch breaks this week because I got a lot of
overtime on Monday. Many times it brought tears to my eyes, sometimes
with your sadness and often with your triumphs. The third from the last
line in your epilogue was really well placed and tied the whole book
together. It made the book a celebration of survival. Take
care,Pete----Georgia
Connie, I admire you! You are an
inspiration to women everywhere! So glad we met!

complete. Mrs. L ---your 8th grade English Teacher ----Florida
Dear Connie,
I am writing to say thank you for your book Give Me Back My Glory. I do
not believe that we have met but I feel like we have after reading your
book. I am a pastor in Marion, Ohio. Your card says "Autobiography about breast
cancer...laugh, cry and be educated." I experienced all of this and
more as I shared the progress of your journey. When I finished the
book, I looked in a mirror and my face was red with emotion. Sincerely,
,Dr. John Watson----Marion, Ohio
