About the Book

At our darkest hours we find truth . . . When your life is on
hold and you can’t fight your way up the ladder of
success and you can’t pay your bills and you can’t even get
across the hall to the bathroom, all you can do is lie
there and wait. Running away is no longer an option . . .

What happens when medicine, other people, and self-reliance are no longer enough to heal the human body and sustain the human spirit? Still Life is a memoir that details the medical odyssey of an ordinary young woman who, when physically-challenged, questions the meaning of her inherited religion. As she slowly descends into the world of disability, she is forced to put her faith into practice in the laboratory of her life, and she undergoes a spiritual metamorphosis.
