This candid narrative is a portrait of disability, loss, and, ultimately, the healing of body, mind, and spirit. Inspirational and informative, it offers insight into both Western and Eastern healing methods, and into the vital role of family and friends in recovering from a chronic autoimmune disease that afflicts millions of Americans, especially women. At the height of her thriving career as a university professor, researcher, writer, and influential advocate for education, Concha Delgado Gaitan was suddenly stricken with unbearable pain and partial paralysis. Diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), she began the long and arduous process of taking control of her own recovery. This entailed first creating a language to describe her physical symptoms, accessing the wisdom of traditional and alternative healers, and building a supportive community in which she could literally reinvent herself, transforming her life and overcoming adversity through medical and physical treatment and spiritual practice.
