This is the story of Julia, who dealt with a condition that was little understood by the medical profession. It was believed that a malfunctioning gene called ADAMTS 13 was the cause. She dealt for years with anxiety, depression, stress, and a myriad of other symptoms. Eventually, she came to understand that while doctors and other medical professionals could help her to some degree, she would also need faith in God and the assistance of those closest to her to come through her many trials and tribulations and emerge triumphant on the other side.
This book features plenty of humor and emotional insight, but it’s also about a compelling life-and-death struggle. Julia’s tale is a deeply human one that any reader will applaud and remember for years to come.
