Description

"...interesting and well-written...great job of interspersing personal vignettes...purchase copy for...neurology house staff library and also for chaplain´s office...insightful for health care workers dealing with GBS patients--perhaps especially nurses, P.T.´s etc." --Dr. James Q. Miller, Prof. Neurology, Univ. VA Medical Center. Judy´s body is tricked by a virus into attacking itself. She wakes up paralyzed. Her creative mind fights back with the themes and spirit in the stories of her life. Armed with insight gleaned from her own stories about events and people in her past and present both in Turkey and the US, and told with restrained humor and often with Appalachian flavor -- Judy discovers that her spiritual desire to "walk" is stronger than the fear of "falling." "This book is truly an inspiration for anyone who has ever run into a brick wall in life." --Simone Poirier-Bures, author of three memoirs. "Our great author of CATCH 22, Joseph Heller, told of his experience with Guillain-Barre in NO LAUGHING MATTER. Now Judy Light Ayyildiz equals--and in some ways surpasses--his account in her book, NOTHING BUT TIME." --Walter James Miller, author, co-author, or editor of 67 books and newly-released, LOVE´S MAINLAND
