This is the truth about what really happened to me. My trials were like waves as I drowned numerous times during the journey in discovering my answers. Chronic illness is similar in how it affects a person . . . with waves of hardships, waves of both emotional/physical trials, waves of suffering, and waves of hope.

She uses her journal entries to share the moments of her journey in reaching a diagnosis and a treatment plan for the future. She hopes that her book inspires others to persevere in the face of adversity.
