Touching, informative, sometimes funny, sometimes harrowing, I couldn't put it down. -- -Anne Lamott, New York Times bestselling author What makes this book so special is the complete absence of resentment and self-pity. This is a story beyond catharsis-it's a rebirth, a celebration, a hallucinatory and joyous examination of the aftermath of illness with love and gratitude infused on every page. -- -Susannah Cahalan, author of Brain on Fire and The Great Pretender
