PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Sarah Ramey is a writer and musician (known as Wolf Larsen) living in Washington, DC. She graduated from Bowdoin College in 2003, received an MFA in creative nonfiction writing from Columbia in 2007 and worked on President Obama's 2008 campaign.
Sarah's candor in discussing more than a decade of pain, confusion and dismissal by countless doctors isn't matched by self-pity but by compassion, for herself and every woman who has been told that her symptoms are only in her head, even when she knows her body is screaming. This is a book for anyone who has ever asked a question that didn't have an immediate or easy answer, anyone who has worried about themselves or a loved one who isn't getting better - despite following all the experts' advice - and anyone interested in their own health, public health or medicine; in other words, it's a book with something resonant and useful for all of us. It's also, not incidentally, a terrific read -- Chelsea Clinton
