In her powerful, heartwarming and hilarious memoir, THIS IS HOW I SAVE MY LIFE: Searching the World for a Cure: A Lyme Disease Memoir (Gallery Books; Paperback; On sale 5/18), Amy B. Scher tells a fiery and unbounded story of how to take life into your own hands when all hope is lost; by believing in the power of self healing and the miracle of survival. It’s the perfect post-COVID story of real female heroism. Amy would be a great interview.
Praise for THIS IS HOW I SAVE MY LIFE includes:
A Good Morning America “Most Anticipated Reads” pick for May 2021
“A heartwarming and inspiring story that will change the way you look at life.”—Vikas Swarup, New York Times bestselling author of Slumdog Millionaire
"Amy Scher is a brave warrior and a wonderful writer. She is a living example (very much living!) of what it looks like when a woman takes her health, her heart, and her destiny into her own hands. My hope is that this book will inspire many other women to do the same."—Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic
“An Eat Pray Love-like memoir.”—Pam Grout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of E-Squared
In THIS IS HOW I SAVE MY LIFE you travel with Amy from California to the Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis and finally in India as she shares her uplifting story of pure determination to heal herself from her late-stage, chronic Lyme disease.
As her body began to rapidly deteriorate and she had exhausted all options, Amy found a highly experimental trial that had just as likely a probability of killing her as it did curing her…but it was in Delhi, India. She packed her bags and her parents hoping for an answer.
In an interview, Amy can discuss:
-
What it means to be resilient in a post-COVID world.
-
How to reframe your mindset around challenges that are daunting or painful.
-
The writing process of her memoir; especially how sharing our vulnerabilities can transform pain for others.
-
How to reclaim your life and what that means.
I’d be more than happy to send a PDF if you’d like to dip in. Watch Amy on Ticker News here or check out her Washington Post essay here. If you’d like to schedule an interview with Amy, please let me know. I’d be happy to put you in touch!
Cheers,
Sammi
