In Dire Straits: Keeping Spirit Alive When the Wheels Come Off

a timely healing memoir about the challenges of coping with and recovering from a dire health crisis. It is full of mischievous humor as well as science about infection and the treatment of immune system disorders. But above all, it is an invaluable guide for nurturing spirit and practicing mindfulness when life unravels, grief strikes or family is threatened (as with Covid-19) by an invisible virus. No book could be more inspirational and empowering.
