Battleground

Is it true that we can pick our battles in life, or do our battles pick us? What if, from the beginning, defects in your DNA dictate what battles you will be fighting for the rest of your life? 

This young nurse communicates her story with a raw, human aspect that illuminates the battle of chronic disease. Complete with descriptions of the wars within her faith and the fervent struggle to find meaning in difficulty, she paints a telling picture of the search for freedom.

As her psyche travels down the war path throughout her story, she sees similarities in the patients she cares for, relating to them in a way she never thought possible. The stark contrast between learned medical knowledge and her patient experience makes this book a window into the world of those with chronic illness. Not to be set aside lightly, her story of finally finding victory is one for the books.
