Publisher Description: When Mary Reid-Hill was 38 years old, she had an enormous freaking stroke (that's not the exact scientific name), which essentially left her battling for her life. This crisis followed a twisted childhood, a teenage marriage, and a diagnosis of cancer at age 22-leaving Mary to cope with a new set of challenges with half a brain and a seriously compromised body. "In Spite Of" all the the health challenges, psychological roadblocks, and spiritual upheaval, Mary has persevered-defying doctors, therapists, and insurance companies, all of whom underestimated her grit, optimism, and humor, three tools that have served her best during her 15+ years of recovery. Her story has value for anyone because it will surely grab a piece of you and take you on a worthwhile ride. Buckle up and enjoy |
