This book is more than a memoir of the author's battle with tuberculosis in the early days of its cure. After recalling the harsh interruption of her life when institutionalized as a young woman, the author's curiosity prompted her to explore the history of the disease. Her research led to her keen awareness of the appalling resurgence of TB today that has made it the number two killer in the world. The story that she initially intended to be a personal legacy for her sons became a link between the time when medicine first triumphed over the disease and the present state of a tragic, new epidemic. Ms. Shong not only educates the public to the new dangers of TB, but she leaves an inspiring message with her readers concerning the strength to carry on.
