Judy Pearson is a storyteller. Her books range from World War II adventures (such as Wolf at the Door, a must read!) to her recent foray into health related stories. While writing her previous book From Shadows to Life: A Biography of the Cancer Survivorship Movement, Judy realized she has an even better story, that of Mary Lasker. Mary Lasker was a woman of the Roaring Twenties. She embraced social change, women's voting rights and reveled in the relative freedom of the times. She was also a passionate and adventurous person. Her passions took her from Wisconisn to NYC where her interest in art led her to arrange the first Chagall exhibit in the US. During the depression she became an entrepreneur, creating celebrity endorsed dress patterns so that women could afford to dress like woman such as Joan Crawford, When Mary married Albert Lasker, an advertising pioneer, it was the love affair of the century. Although the two were twenty years apart, age was no obstacle. Mary and Albert joined forces to rebrand the American Society for the Control of Cancer to the American Cancer Society. Between his advertising genius and her networking and social abilities, this couple would change the understanding of cancer. Judy's new book Crusade to Heal: The Remarkable Life of Mary Lasker is a must read, for history and for inspiration. Bump In The Road (the book) is an Amazon Best Seller!!!
