Thankfully Jeannie and her family were able to survive their time of crisis and now she is sharing her deeply personal journey through this miraculous story: the challenging conversations she had with her children; how she came to terms with feeling powerless and ferociously crabby while bedridden and unable to eat for a month; and how she ultimately learned re - learned and re re - learned to be more present in life. With sincerity and hilarity Jeannie invites you into her heart (and brain) during this trying time emphasizing the importance of family faith and humor as keys to her recovery and leading a more fulfilling life.
