| Publisher Description: In her first book, A Beautiful Spiral, Dr. Ashyanna Keli Rodriguez tells her extraordinary story of healing from nine brain tumors caused by the life-threatening disease, cerebral cysticercosis. For seven years, she struggled to survive the devastating physical and psychological effects of the worms growing in her brain due to a parasite she contracted while serving in a remote African village for the U.S. Peace Corps. These creatures were first her torture and then her teachers, and through this experience a healer was born. However, death called again when she was violently attacked in her home. Though she survived a brutal physical and sexual assault, she was left struggling to survive the living nightmare of post-traumatic stress disorder. Through this journey she learned how to connect to her unbreakable spirit, and the meaning of true forgiveness. Dr. Rodriguez's A Beautiful Spiral traces the complex road of illness to recovery-twice-with courage and candor that spans human emotion as well as the globe, and shows the power of choosing life and love-again and again. |
