Reviews
Praise for Kris Carr and her bestselling Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips "I read Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips cover to cover on a a flight from LA to NY. I laughed out loud, wept quietly, and most of all, marveled at the magic that is Kris Carr.

It is sheer perfection for cancer 'cowgirls' and their loved ones-colorful, soulful, and intimate."-Rory Freedman, coauthor of #1 NY Times best seller Skinny Bitch"Kris is the ray of light that is needed to raise awareness of what it means to give back.
