Publisher's Summary
From a darkened world, bound by four walls, a young woman called Jessica tells the tale of her battle against the M. E. Monster. The severest form of a neuroimmune disease called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis went to war with her at just 15 years old. From beneath her dark glasses, Jessica glimpses a world far different from the one she remembers as a teenage schoolgirl. This true story follows her path as she ends up living in a hospital for years with tubes keeping her alive.
This harrowing story follows the highs and lows of the disease and being hospitalised, captured through her voice-activated technology diary called "Bug" that enables her to fulfil her dream of one day becoming an author. It provides a raw, real-time honesty to the story that would be impossible to capture in hindsight.

Powerfully inspiring
As a fellow ME sufferer I was so inspired by Jessica’s perseverance and attitude throughout her harrowing journey. I believe that this book can bring hope and light to, not only the chronically ill, but to anyone, as it is a truly wonderful example of the strength of the human spirit.

ME sufferer’s diary of her illness
A very articulate young lady.
A cheerful spirit who constantly looks for the good in her life. Excellently narrated.
I highly recommend this book for ME sufferers, their families , friends, carers & health professionals.
Even those who know little of the health condition sometimes referred to as CFS or chronic fatigue will enjoy the spirit of this young battler & learn a whole lot about this disease.
