The Real Mystic Lamb Operating Manual for a Body Under Siege and the Mind Within

The author, who is a photographer, faces a disease that statistically affects two people in a million. Everyone is equally likely to be struck by lightning. This extraordinary book is a true story where the author must unwillingly cope with the course of such an event. She confronts fate with her own curiosity, wit, brutal honesty and imagination that draw the reader into the story. The book is richly accompanied by photographs taken by the author herself, hospital staff or loved ones, and drawings that became her means of expression during this period. Creativity is here a powerful tool for building one's own position in a new life situation.The subtitle of the book is An Operating Manual for the Body Under Attack and the Mind Within. Although it deals with human mortality, it is actually a celebration of life and a wonder at the world we live in, and in this way this book is very human and inspiring.
