“This is a compelling memoir ― an inside view of what it’s like to live with a widely misunderstood neurological condition. I found myself quickly turning each page as I read through Stacia Kalinoski’s memoir about her life with epilepsy... With a background in journalism, Kalinoski handily writes about the science behind her disease and her treatment journey with a clear and accessible style... She also has a knack for letting the reader into what was going on with her psychologically, physically, and emotionally during her journey.”
“An eye-opening look into a neurological condition that affects 55,000 Minnesotans.”
“Stacia Kalinoski has been an inspiration in my life and my son’s life, giving hope to those with epilepsy through her resolve and willingness to stand up for herself and others with seizure disorders. Her memoir further highlights her amazing fighting spirit. Within these pages, she offers encouragement to millions of Americans who are struggling—emphasizing that they, too, can overcome.”
“I respect Stacia Kalinoski so much for what she has done for epilepsy. She continues to work hard and help people.”
