When the Body Says No Tracy A Todd

When the Body Says No ~ A Learn, Laugh, Love Story is a memoir that engages the reader with the same captivating flow, drama and suspense of a best-selling novel.
 
Author, Tracy A. Todd developed fictitious names as a veil of anonymity, which enabled her to narrate thirty years of her journey in an open, honest, intimate voice.
 
The story opens with a life-altering event that would have squelched the spirit of most, but not Tesh, a little school-girl, with a big neurological problem.
 
You'll sit at her bedside when she's undergoing tests that no twelve-year old should have to experience. You'll dance with her as she celebrates a significant birthday, and you'll cry when...
 
This narrative provides a unique perspective of a remarkable life. Yes, there are medical challenges, struggles even, but they only add depth to the journey. The strength within the pages is the transparent expression of emotions in her relationships with family, friends, and health care professionals. Equally valuable is the endearing relationship that Tesh develops with herself that enables the reader and Tesh to evolve together, a growth that occurs from the inside out.
 
This book does not offer advice; instead, the memoir shares one woman's response to a life of medical adversity. The author relays the facts, but emphasizes the feelings.
 
When the Body Says No - A Learn, Laugh, Love Story is not another 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade' book. This heartfelt account provides much more nourishment for a healthy, hearty appetite. Within the pages of this book, the author serves full five-course meals, followed by an evening stroll, before sitting and sipping a Hot Toddy in front of a crackling fire. You'll leave satisfied, full, eagerly anticipating your next invitation to her home.
