A powerful story of survival, truth, and unexpected redemption
At the height of a life that appeared stable and carefully built, everything changed.
This book tells the true story of a woman whose world unraveled after contracting COVID-19 pneumonia during the height of the pandemic—a moment that would alter her body, her future, and her understanding of what it means to survive. Labeled, dismissed, and sent home gravely ill, she would soon face catastrophic medical complications: collapsed lungs, paralysis of the diaphragm, nerve damage, blood clots, and months on a ventilator. Doctors warned her family she would not survive the night.
She did.
What followed was a harrowing journey through multiple hospitals and post-acute care facilities, marked by medical neglect, dehumanizing treatment, mismanaged care, and fear for her life. When she finally awoke, three months had passed. In the aftermath, she had lost her home, her independence, her physical strength—and the life she once knew.
This memoir is an unflinching account of what it means to endure a disease that was often minimized, politicized, or denied altogether. It speaks to those still living with the long-term consequences of COVID-19, to families who watched helplessly from the outside, and to anyone who lost someone they loved.
But this is not only a story of suffering.
It is also a story of reckoning, resilience, and transformation. Through survival, the author is forced to confront the illusion of control, the fragility of modern systems, and the deeper truths about purpose, faith, and what it means to truly live. Against all expectations, the illness that nearly ended her life becomes the catalyst that saves it.
At Honey Badger Books, we believe some stories matter because they are difficult—and because they refuse to look away. This is one of those stories. Honest, devastating, and ultimately hopeful, this book is a testament to survival in its rawest form.
