 Michelle Rapkin Center Street From A Press Release Book Description If you crossed "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and "Hints from Heloise," and then filled in the gaps with valuable advice and practical tips on dealing with cancer, the result would be the new book by Michelle Rapkin that explains all-Any Day with Hair IS a Good Hair Day: How to Get Through Cancer and Get On with Your Life (Trust Me, I've Been There).
