Förlagets beskrivning
A heartwarming and inspiring story that will change the way you look at life" (Vikas Swarup, New York Times bestselling author of Slumdog Millionaire), about a fiery young woman's heartbreaking and hilarious journey that takes her from near-death in California to a trip around the world in search of a cure. With an updated vaccine record and her loving-but-neurotic Jewish parents in tow, she sets off for an adventure she couldn't have imagined. Along the way, she discovers a world of cultural mayhem, goats wearing sweaters, radical medical treatment, an unexpected romance, and, most importantly, a piece of her life she never even knew she was missing.
Sometimes, you only find everything when you are willing to try anything ...
When Amy B. Scher was struck with undiagnosed late-stage, chronic Lyme disease, the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal. Deteriorating rapidly, she went on a search to save her own life--from the top experts in Los Angeles and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis to a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago.
When everyone gave up on her ... she risked her own life to find it
After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure--but it was highly experimental, only available in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her. Knowing the risks and armed with her self-created motto "when life kicks your ass, kick back, " Amy packed her bags, convinced her parents, and flew across the world anyway.
