My Wild Ride: How to Thrive After Breast Cancer and Infidelity
Get the Amazon Kindle edition.
CJ dealt with the double whammy of discovering her husband’s infidelity and then getting breast cancer—for the 2nd time—by refusing to be a victim and keeping her wicked sense of humor. Breast cancer and infidelity may seem like separate subjects, but one often follows the other. CJ’s latest book, My Wild Ride: How to Thrive After Breast Cancer and Infidelity (former working title Hotel Chemo), was released October 2022. It is a candid comic memoir, helping patients and caregivers cope with cancer, including chemo, radiation, alternative therapy, unsupportive partners, negative emotions, sex and end-of-life planning.
To find out more about My Wild Ride, read the Table of Contents and Introduction. The book has these key features:
- Part memoir, part inspirational survival guide to show cancer patients and their family, friends and caregivers what to expect and how to make the best of their situation.
- An unusual combination of black humor and pragmatism to deal with the double whammy of cancer and infidelity.
- Although supportive husbands are front and center in many cancer memoirs, CJ discusses a common flip side—unsupportive and even cheating husbands.
- Includes often-overlooked issues for cancer patients such as separation versus divorce, BRCA gene issues, sex and celibacy, wills, funerals, and cancer etiquette for caregivers, relatives and friends.
- No preaching or trying to usurp the role of a doctor.
- Rather than being sad and scary, this frank, no-holds-barred breast cancer memoir is laugh-out-loud funny yet deeply moving, packed with useful advice and oddball facts.

Adulterer’s Wife: How to Thrive Whether You Stay or Not
Adulterer’s Wife gives women with unfaithful partners the tools to help overcome feelings of anger, loneliness, fear and betrayal. “Whether they choose to stay or leave, wives need to take back power and gain independence,” says former BBC journalist CJ Grace. She shows women how to use the shock of infidelity as a catalyst to become a more complete, creative and joyful human being—no partner required. Check out the Contents and Introduction.
Visiting England in 2016, CJ spoke live on the BBC’s flagship radio show Woman’s Hour, with over 3.5 million listeners. “I wrote this book to help women let go of toxic emotions such as blame, hatred and revenge,” she said. “The sweetest revenge is to get over the need for it.”

“Adulterer’s Wife is very clever and well-written. Such a good idea too.”—Celia Walden, US Editor-at-Large, Daily Telegraph, UK.
It’s a very complicated subject matter-is monogamy essential for the survival of a marriage? I am not sure but certainly all parties have to feel valued.
I liked your references to wider matters-Ashley Madison, France etc. More of these would be illuminating.
Best of luck with the book.
Thank you for your candour.
