Summary
Cherie Kephart traveled the world from the remote villages of Central Africa to the majestic coastlines of New Zealand until a mysterious illness thrust her to the precipice of death. The persistent malady led to years of suffering, during which her symptoms time and again were undiagnosed by well-meaning healthcare professionals who were sometimes competent, sometimes careless, sometimes absurd, and always baffled. The anguish, the uncertainty, and the relentless pain would have caused many people to simply give up and end their lives--and Cherie came close. Told with brutal honesty, astonishing wit, and a haunting vulnerability, "A Few Minor Adjustments" is an unforgettable memoir that captures the horrors and triumphs of one woman's harrowing quest to find life-saving answers. In the end, she finds much more than a diagnosis.--Publisher
