When Sophie is diagnosed with
a rare cancer around the lungs, she decides to live life afresh through nine
wig-related invented realities. As wigs become a crucial part of Sophie�s
new life, she reclaims a sense of self-expression. Each of Sophie�s nine
wigs makes her feel stronger and gives her a distinct personality, and that
is why each has its own name: Stella, Sue, Daisy, Blondie, Platina, Uma, Pam,
Lydia, and Beb�. There�s a bit of Sophie in all of them, and they reveal
as much as they hide. Sophie is determined to be much more than a cancer
patient. With refreshing candour and a keen eye for the absurd, Sophie van
der Stap�s The Girl With Nine Wigs makes you smile when you least expect
it.

About Author
Sophie
van der Stap was 21 years-old when she was diagnosed with a rare form of
cancer. A striking, fun-loving student, overnight her world was reduced to
the sterile confines of a hospital. But within these walls Sophie discovered
a whole new world of white coats, gossiping nurses, and sexy doctors. Of
shared rooms, hair loss, and eyebrow pencils.
Sophie wrote of her experiences in
her refreshingly candid book, The Girl with Nine Wigs. When it was originally
published in The Netherlands in 26, it became an instant bestseller and won
the Bart Prize for “Making the Impossible Possible.” It also stormed the
charts internationally. The Academy Award-winning producer Andreas Bareiss is
currently adapting The Girl with Nine Wigs into a film.Sophie is currently
working on two novels.Sophie is now 32 years-old and has lived for many years
in Paris. Her cancer is in complete remission. She still occasionally wears
wigs.
