The Problem Child

I was in my mid-twenties and married with three children when I was finally diagnosed with epilepsy. Terrified, yes, but relieved. After years of being told I was crazy, dramatic, or just a "crybaby," I finally had proof that what I felt was real.

This book is not a sob story. It is not a collection of complaints. It is a story of survival, resilience, and truth. It's a tale of a woman breaking free from the chains of stigma. A story of challenge and growth. A book full of lessons for people who can benefit from that journey.

But this book is bigger than my story. It's about what real epilepsy looks like: misunderstood, life-altering, and sometimes traumatic. Millions are still unheard, some too afraid to speak, or told it's "all in their head."

If you are living with epilepsy, or know someone who is... if you're an educator or medical professional, or just someone who wants to know more about epilepsy or seizures in general, you need to read this. It's time to break the silence.
