Many thanks to NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for gifting me a digital ARC of this wonderful memoir by Sarah Ruhl - 5 stars!
Sarah Ruhl has a charmed life and every reason to smile - twice a Pulitzer Prize finalist, her play on Broadway, wonderful husband, small daughter and pregnant with twins. However, the pregnancy had issues and she was put on bed rest. Once delivered and healthy, Sarah developed Bell's palsy. Unlike the 90% of people who have full recoveries after a few months, Sarah's left-side face paralysis persisted and she was diagnosed with other immune disorders as well. This is the story of not only how she tried so many different doctors and treatments but how she changed once her outside looks didn't match her inside looks. It was a 10-year odyssey to gain acceptance and this book is filled with such wonderful writing and thoughts to ponder about appearance, self-worth, parenting, marriage, career, life.
Highly recommended!
