It's Saturday, and everything differs. No, I didn't go directly to the market this morning, and I didn't have my typical caffeine on Westerstraat. No, I wasn't getting ready for a fresh semester at college. Next Mon, January 31, I must confess myself at the hospital for my first chemotherapy program. For the next two months, I'm expected every week for a brand new shot of vincristine, etoposide, ifosfamide, and lots more exciting abracadabra. Sophie is 21 when she actually is identified as having a rare, intense form of tumors. A striking, fun-loving scholar, her world is reduced instantaneously to the sterile confines of an medical center. But within these wall surfaces Sophie discovers a whole new world of white coats, gossiping nurses, and alluring doctors; of distributed rooms, hair loss, and eyebrow pencils. As wigs become a vital part of Sophie's new lease of life, she reclaims a sense of self-expression. Each of Sophie's nine wigs makes her feel stronger and gives her a definite personality, and that is why each has its name: Stella, Sue, Daisy, Blondie, Platina, Uma, Pam, Lydia, and BebE. There's a little of Sophie in every of them, plus they reveal up to they cover. Sophie is determined to be more than a tumors patient. With refreshing candor and an enthusiastic vision for the absurd, Sophie van der Stap's The Woman with Nine Wigs makes you laugh when you least expect it. Sophie van der Stap was 21 years of age when she was identified as having cancer. Today she actually is 31 and the international ambassador and spokesperson for Orange Ribbon International, a charity business whose objective is to make the eradication of years as a child cancer a priority. She has written two novels and lives in Paris, France.
