The heroic writer of Seabiscuit

[demnan]

On the NPR program "Fresh Air" this afternoon Laura Hillenbrand is discussing her life, living with cronic fatigue syndrone.

This lady struggled with her own health to write the book in a recent New Yorker (I'll try to find the link) she discusses her illness and the struggle to write the book.

1. Amazing, simply amazing!

Thank you. I bookmarked this and emailed it to people I know. Makes my troubles seem like paper cuts in comparison. I'm glad her book is a best seller. I wish the best for her. That was a curious story about the deer and falling star; I sense there's more to that that we earthbound humans can't see. I wonder what a "real" shaman would say about that; it has some spiritual vibes around it. She sure went through hell going to those quacky doctors.
