Love & Hugs, Leslie: THE SPIRITED LIFE OF A YOUNG WOMAN WHO BRAVED ADVERSITY WITH LOVE, HUMOR, AND ADVENTURE

“Leslie Sinclair with the big red hair” is what her dear friend Celine called her. The rest of us called her our hero. Diagnosed at age 16 with melanoma and challenged with an aggressive recurrence at age 20, Leslie showed us how to LIVE life in her short 27 years on Earth. Despite all the surgeries, treatments, and physical limitations she experienced due to cancer, Leslie continued her education (and received her Bachelor’s Degree from University of California Irvine posthumously), traveled to many U.S. cities and foreign countries, gave numerous lectures on melanoma, and managed to meet Matt Damon. However, what brought her the most pride and joy was her love for and from family and friends. Love & Hugs, Leslie is the heartwarming, breath-catching, and astonishing tale of one young woman's bold life with a menacing disease. Filled with honesty and humor, this will move you to tears, smiles, and passion for what and whom you love. Her mom shares Leslie's words (along with her own) to further spread Leslie's example of how to LIVE—not letting anything stop you, even if it's another brain tumor.
