I am, I am, I am: seventeen brushes with death : [a memoir]
(Book)
"On seventeen occasions, Maggie O'Farrell has stared death in the face - and lived to tell the tale. In this astonishing memoir, she shares the near-death experiences that have punctuated and defined her life: The childhood illness that left her bedridden for a year, which she was not expected to survive. A teenage yearning to escape that nearly ended in disaster. An encounter with a disturbed man on a remote path. And, most terrifying of all, an ongoing, daily struggle to protect her daughter from a condition that leaves her unimaginably vulnerable to life's myriad dangers. Here, O'Farrell stitches together these discrete encounters to tell her story, capturing the perils running just beneath the surface and illuminating the preciousness, beauty, and mysteries of life itself"--
