The Sun-Room - by Jess Watts (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Jess was a healthy young woman in her early twenties, newly graduated from university when she was struck down with Chronic Fatigue. Here she writes of a lost past and a halted present in which despair rotates with hope. It will speak to anyone who is stalled because of chronic illness or ill health.This is not a ME memoir or a journey back to health but a vivid description of an uncertain present and a future that us not known. The Sun- Room cuts through the pain of losing yourself to chronic illness to reveal an angry, envious, devastated, and sun- soaked core. It is a scream of anguish. An annihilating and liberating exploration of self-identity. A gentle surrender to the present.
