The Deep Places: A Memoir of Illness and Discovery

The Deep Places is a gripping memoir that delves into the author's five-year struggle with a mysterious and devastating sickness that left him sleepless, crippled, and wracked with pain.

Despite seeing numerous doctors and descending deeper into a physical inferno, he discovered that he had a disease that does not actually exist according to CDC definitions: the chronic form of Lyme disease.

This hotly contested condition devastates the lives of tens of thousands of people but has no official recognition or medically approved cure. As the author searches for help, he finds himself off the map of official medicine and into territory where cranks and conspiracies abound.

However, slowly and against his instincts and assumptions, he realizes that many of these "cranks" are right and that all kinds of unexpected experiences and revelations lurk beneath the surface of normal existence. This powerful memoir is a must-read for anyone who has ever struggled with chronic illness or felt lost in the face of modern medicine's limitations.

It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that sometimes, the most unexpected experiences can lead to the greatest revelations.
