Tattered Flesh, Resilient Spirit

A physician becomes victim of flesh-eating bacteria, consuming his body, but not shaking his religious faith. A true dramatic account of how fluke bacteria transformed the author from healthy doctor to critically-ill patient and how friends and family kept believing. TATTERED FLESH, RESILIENT SPIRIT is an excellent book to share with anyone struggling against an insurmountable illness. -- Award winning author Cathryn J Lyons is trained in Pediatric Emergency Medicine. Her medical thriller, BLINK OF AN EYE, will be available from Tor Books in 2006. The book does a wonderful job bringing the emotions of a life-threatening illness into focus at a personal level. -- K. Patrick Ober, MD, Author of Mark Twain in Medicine
