REWRITING ILLNESS: A VIEW OF MY OWN written and read by Elizabeth Benedict

Elizabeth Benedict reads her memoir, REWRITING ILLNESS: A VIEW OF MY OWN with the emotions of one who leads listeners to distrust her worries, even as she does, when she describes her hypocondria. In brief poignant chapters that carry wisdom and wit she tracks her path from fear once she discovers, discounts and fights fears of the implications of a lump in her armpit. Her attempts to thwart potential ill health go from chanting mantras to drinking wheat grass. But when her worst fears are realized and lymphomia is diagnosed, she candidly recounts a new path that is fraught with complicated medical care, the support of her friends, the devotion of her husband, and her individual journey to healing.Discover more about this book at the purchase link below.
