I feel that the purpose for Lucy Grealy writing this book was to inform people on all the trails of her life that she faced as a child growing up. She spent most of her young years fighting her cancer and undergoing many surgeries. Due to all of the surgeries she not only faced the pain from fighting cancer but the pain from feeling ugly and getting teased by her peers. Grealy, in my opinion wants to make sure that people no matter what you see on the outside when people appear to be fine that in reality words hurt and everyone wants to be loved and feel pretty.
The process that was taken by Grealy to write this book was living. the book tells her life story and the things she had to go through while living with cancer and looking differently from everyone else. I believe that Grealy first had to come to grips that this is her reality and had to feel comfortable with sharing to the world her inside feelings and secrets. she has to share her insecurities by writing the book and had to be comfortable with doing so.
Grealy's methods and sources consisted of herself. This is an autobiography so Grealy did not have to seek for outside help to tell her life story.
