About this audiobook
COVID-19 is the world's biggest mass-disabling event. This ambitious book project debuted at #1 on Amazon in two categories and is a piece of living history with stories, essays, and poems from 45 long haulers. It gives a humanized view of chronic illness while offering a poignant reminder of the millions of people with long COVID worldwide.
- With writing and poetry from Andrew David King, Pato Hebert, Nina Storey, Emily Pinkerton, Morgan Stephens, Nikki Stewart, Sonya Huber, Ann E. Wallace, Alexis Misko, and others.
- Uses a patient-centric, experiential literary approach.
Writer Mary Ladd, a one-time Anthony Bourdain collaborator, leads the project. Her team has created an accessible paperback offering tales of persisting symptoms and navigating the healthcare system to poignant reflections on grief, loss, and hope. This makes a perfect gift for those seeking a deeper understanding of the lasting effects of COVID-19, and the book presents a powerful testament to human resilience, strength, and solidarity.
"I want to share my story so no other woman is made to believe her symptoms are all in her head. May our narratives provide solidarity for patients, information for caregivers and providers, and increased awareness and urgency for action from the masses." —Contributor Haley Nelson, age 19. She was athletic, academic, and animated before long COVID, ME/CFS, POTS, and small fiber neuropathy uprooted her life.
Fans of Disability Visibility, The Long Haul, and The Long COVID Survival Guide will love this book.
This book is a must-read for:
- Anyone experiencing long COVID symptoms
- Caregivers, family, friends, and anyone looking to understand long COVID
- Medical professionals and researchers
