Medical Non-Fiction PicksAgainst Medical Advice tells Cory Friedman's story: his long battle with Tourette syndrome, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and his medical advisors. James Patterson makes his first trip into non-fiction land and shows his skills as writer of a compelling story that isn't fictional.
We've been recommending Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's book, My Stroke of Insight, since publication. Taylor suffered a stroke in 1996 at the age of 37; hers is a powerful story of recovery, change, gratitude, and family love.
We also highly recommend The Woman Who Can't Forget by Jill Price. If you have ever retraced your steps to find your car keys, know that Ms. Price lives with a greater burden. She remembers everything and we mean everything.
