Marchetto, a cartoonist, was planning her wedding when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The book tells the story of her ultimately triumphant, 11-month battle with the disease.
The movie will be produced by British actress and producer Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray, who are currently busy meeting with writers to adapt the material.
