Coming May 31, 2021
More than anything, this book is about courage—the courage to face your fears about your health and the courage to keep fighting for your dignity.
Part memoir, part research, part pop culture analysis, Super Sick exposes preconceptions and confronts biases about what it means to be human. Read the full synopsis and sneak preview here.
Super Sick is available now. The second edition is coming May 31, 2021.
