Publisher's summary
What if you lost your health? How far would you go to get it back?
Health is a fundamental human right that we all take for granted and abuse daily.
In this book, author Jamie Bennett takes you on a walk through memory lane. Spanning over a decade and a half, this is a story about the seemingly-impossible steps one must go through to get back what was rightfully theirs. It’s a journey through chronic illness, faith, family, and healing; wrapped in the down-to-earth learning lessons of humble farm ownership.
This story will lead you on a rollercoaster of emotions. Inevitable, life-altering changes cultivated moments that molded Jamie Bennett’s family. Transformation arises from both good and bad, but this family never let it destroy them or their commitment to one another. Jamie fought through apathetic doctors, single parenting, farming mishaps, a chaotic family life, and dozens of ailments to recover. And more than that, in the process she learned not just how to survive—but how to truly live and thrive.
If you’ve ever questioned the sheer determination it takes to fight for the lives of you and your family when modern medicine has failed, all while still trying to live as normally as possible, this book is for you.
Inside, you’ll discover:
- That disease does not need to define you
- How to live with an illness
- How to find yourself in your darkest hour
- How to find joy in the midst of life's toughest circumstances
Get There's a Deer at the Door and a Cow in the Mudroom today!

The American health-care system is failing us. It is a frustratingly complex, opaque, and unaffordable system that results in suboptimal care and a deterioration of the welfare of the majority of American families. The experience of the past few decades and the recent ravaging pandemic has shown us that doing more of the same is not going to deliver us from this dilemma. But there is hope. There is a way to create a more accessible, consumer-friendly, safer, and affordable system of care for all of us.

Story
The heart of many hospitals is the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). It is a place where humanity, ethics, and science collide in dramatic and deeply personal ways as parents, doctors, and nurses grapple with sometimes unanswerable questions: When does life begin?

As cardiologist and best-selling author Sandeep Jauhar tells in The Heart, it was only recently that we demolished age-old taboos and devised the transformative procedures that changed the way we live.

When Amy B. Scher was struck with undiagnosed late-stage, chronic Lyme disease, the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal. Deteriorating rapidly, she went on a search to save her own life - from the top experts in Los Angeles and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis to a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago. After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure - but it was highly experimental, available only in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her.
