At the Will of the Body: Reflections on Illness

A thought provoking personal narrative about living with chronic, life threatening illness. Illness, much like death is a taboo subject for many yet an inevitable truth that has to be faced. Frank faces this head on and manages to articulate the experience of illness exceptionally well, giving voice to the patient in what is normally medical accounts of disease.

He has a wonderful way with words and offers hope and encouragement to us all. Rather than aiming for recovery and a return to 'normal', we are better equipped if we try to discover what else we may be. Frank provides the possibility to find value in the experience of illness and focuses less on recovery than renewal.
