Through the Shadowlands
Author: Julie Rehmeyer
Publisher: Rodale
ISBN: 1623367654
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Julie Rehmeyer felt like she was going to the desert to die. Julie fully expected to be breathing at the end of the trip―but driving into Death Valley felt like giving up, surrendering. She’d spent years battling a mysterious illness so extreme that she often couldn’t turn over in her bed. The top specialists in the world were powerless to help, and research on her disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, was at a near standstill. Having exhausted the plausible ideas, Julie turned to an implausible one. Going against both her instincts and her training as a science journalist and mathematician, she followed the advice of strangers she’d met on the Internet. Their theory―that mold in her home and possessions was making her sick―struck her as wacky pseudoscience. But they had recovered from chronic fatigue syndrome as severe as hers. To test the theory that toxic mold was making her sick, Julie drove into the desert alone, leaving behind everything she owned. She wasn’t even certain she was well enough to take care of herself once she was there. She felt stripped not only of the life she’d known, but any future she could imagine. With only her scientific savvy, investigative journalism skills, and dog, Frances, to rely on, Julie carved out her own path to wellness―and uncovered how shocking scientific neglect and misconduct had forced her and millions of others to go it alone. In stunning prose, she describes how her illness transformed her understanding of science, medicine, and spirituality. Through the Shadowlands brings scientific authority to a misunderstood disease and spins an incredible and compelling story of tenacity, resourcefulness, acceptance, and love.

Almost There
Author: DP Turner
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
"Do you want to hike the Appalachian Trail again?" he asked. Although DP Turner had hiked 1,500 miles of that trail during his adolescent years, that question from an unlikable classmate in high school led to a return forty years later. Thinking he was a hiking expert, Turner would find that a return would be quite different. Turner presents a trek fraught with hardships, beginning with a fall that breaks his ankle nearly two miles from help. And yet a glimmer of hope and wisdom shines through. The trail's culture and path had changed. Backpacking technology had passed by him. But along the way, that unlikable person would become a close friend and hiking partner. Come on a journey on a path full of danger, wonders, and remarkable people with stories needing to be told. Discover how hiking philosophies and generations had changed in four decades. Go on a quest as he tries to finish a forty-mile gap in Virginia that had haunted him all during his adult life. Along the way, he rediscovers personal growth that had lain dormant since his teenage years and what it really means to be ‘Almost There.'"

Where the Trail Grows Faint
Author: Lynne Hugo
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 9780803224513
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Ostensibly a book about therapy dogs, this thoughtful work also looks at the shortcomings of nursing-home life. Dog lovers will enjoy the antics of Hugo's chocolate Lab, who is a great icebreaker at a home, and will learn that dogs needn't be perfectly behaved to be good in their role (far from it, in this case). Readers also learn that residents too often can be neglected by family, even those who live nearby, and that the effects of this neglect are huge in already severely circumscribed lives. Teens volunteering, or contemplating it, at nursing homes and hospitals, as well as social-studies students, will get a great deal out of this sympathetic volume and will be much more understanding and able to help residents/patients in practical but small ways.

Publisher: L. E. Henderson
ISBN:
Category : Self-Help

Pages : 74
Book Description
Writing is hard. Some writers believe they need a magical mindset. Others believe you must force yourself to write. Such pressures cause pointless suffering. A Trail of Crumbs to Creative Freedom proposes a more playful and forgiving approach. “Trail” tracks the creative recovery of the author, who—right after a manic episode—becomes creatively numb and plunges into a depression. Desperately blocked, she longs to re-experience the creative rush of writing her first novel and imagines a trail leading back to it. "More than anything,” she writes, “I wanted to go back. Back to the time before my episode when the ideas had flowed freely. I needed a road, a path, a map. Anything would have been welcome." To go back to the state of inspiration she remembers, the author probes the nature and source of creativity. Slowly and painfully, the author rediscovers her love for writing and the fun of creative exploration. A Trail of Crumbs to Creative Freedom is part autobiography, part inspiration, and part how-to. If you struggle with block, follow this trail of crumbs through the forest to reach the light of creative freedom. Pick up this book today and get started.
