Emma Hannigan was thirty-two and married with two small children when she found out that she had an 85 per cent chance of developing cancer.
Over the following year she had a double mastectomy and both ovaries removed, reducing her cancer risk to five per cent.
But then her worst fears were realised.
Cancer struck anyway.
Talk to the Headscarf is the story of how she lived, laughed and overcame some of the toughest times in her life.
Emma has now battled cancer eight times. In this inspirational account, she shares with us the highs and lows of her astounding story and shows us that, against the odds, life can and does carry on.
