Description
Guts: A Memoir by Janet Buttenwieser is a powerful and moving account of resilience in the face of chronic illness. At 24, Janet's life took a dramatic turn when she was diagnosed with a rare intestinal illness that would change her life forever.
As she navigated the challenges of misdiagnosis, multiple surgeries, and living with a permanent colostomy, Janet struggled to assert herself as a patient, despite being determined to advocate for low-income people. It was her friend Beth who became her model for assertiveness, taking care of Janet during her illness before facing her own struggles with brain cancer.
This memoir is a testament to the human spirit's ability to thrive in the face of adversity, and will resonate with anyone who has experienced loss or chronic illness. With themes that echo stories of survival and perseverance, Guts is a deeply personal and relatable account that will stay with readers long after they finish reading.
