About this book

A mysterious limp when Brown was five was diagnosed as a rare genetic disease, foreshadowing decades of excruciating bone pain and accelerating immobility. In his mid-forties not even the most sophisticated medical technology could detect his bone density, which led to Brown's digging deep inside to tackle longstanding, but often ignored, personal angers and sorrows and choosing between submitting to a life of ongoing pain and desperation or healing and liberation.
