Description: When Lear is examined by a doctor the day after a seemingly minor medical episode, "the verdict is shocking. So begins an account, filled with grace, humor, and ferocity, of her harrowing journey to recovery, beset by mysterious complications.

The past is inescapably present"--Amazon.com.
