We’re very excited about the new book Body and Soul: Narratives of Healing from Ars Medica, which features powerful stories about health, disease, illness, and recovery.
Vincent Lam, author of Bloodletting and Miraculous Cures, offered this praise: “This is a wonderful anthology of brave voices. They speak clearly with both the vulnerability, and courage that arises from illness and healing. It is not only an insider’s view of the world of health care providers and patients. It is a meditation upon all of our inner hearts.”
We’d like to share with you an excerpt from the story “Daughter Cells,” by Jessica Handler, about three sisters whose lives are upended by two different genetic disorders.
We hope you enjoy this book as much as we do.
