Gill's Books
Naked Imperfection
What if you’re doing everything right—living a healthy, virtuous, conscientious life— and something goes terribly wrong?
Gillian Deacon was the paragon of virtue, the standard-bearer for how to live responsibly on the earth. So when the all-natural vegetarian yogi and runner mother of three young boys was diagnosed with cancer, the world stopped making sense.
“Gill Deacon's memoir is the story of a young mother who endures a harrowing illness and finds her way to a truth we all need to understand. Her record of loss and discovery is offered with such wit and grace and tender reflection that she kept me reading through the night and reaching for it in the morning. This is a fierce life, beautifully examined, and not to be missed.”
—Linda Spalding, award-winning author of The Purchase
There's Lead in Your Lipstick
By the time she heads out the front door, the modern woman has spritzed, sudsed, and slathered herself in more than 127 different chemicals, many of them more toxic than beautifying.
So how can you look and feel great while safeguarding your health? Get smart and go green from head to toe with the help of eco-expert Gillian Deacon.
"Our toxic chemical exposure is nothing short of a calamity. This book is essential to understanding what is at stake and how to make healthier choices every day – for the planet and for our families." —David Suzuki
Green for Life
With every new day’s headlines the world is shifting into a new reality. Freakish weather patterns, widespread smog alerts, and unsafe water advisories are problems that we all need to tackle.

So how do we do the things we do without making a mess of our world? Green for Life is a practical guide to living the life you want, but with the reduced impact the planet needs.
