Publisher's Synopsis

Drawing from the true story of a young woman grappling with the tumultuous changes brought upon her body and mind by a life-altering medical diagnosis - Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis - this narrative unfolds as an unwelcome odyssey within her own flesh. It chronicles a yourney where each day is a battleground against the spectre of relapse, a constant negotiation with rebellious body cells streemingly determined to defy her will.

Amidst encounters with medical professionals with clandestine agreements seem to cast her as a mere research subject, she confronts the unspoken label of being deemed a "vegetable", a disheartening realization that threatens to diminish her sense of self-worth. Yet, even as she grapples with this internal strife, she endeavours to reclaim her dignity and redefine her worth, both to herself and to those who cherish her.

Throughout her ordeal, she develops a profound empathy for others navigating similar medical challenges, recognizing the shared struggles and hopes that unite them. In her quest to regain agency over her own narrative, she immerges not just as a survivor, but as a beacon of inspiration for those facing their own daunting journeys, proving that resilience and determination can overcome even the most formidable obstacles in life.
