Dizzy: A Memoir

By Rachel Weaver

Book Overview

In her early thirties, Rachel Weaver woke up dizzy and unable to function. She spent the next ten years seeing more than thirty medical practitioners before receiving a diagnosis, and then another eight years before finding relief from her condition. Dizzy is a medical mystery and a cautionary tale about our broken healthcare system. It is a story about learning to live with life's uncertainty, persevering in the pursuit of answers, and striving to find joy in an imperfect yet beautiful world.

Beverly Donofrio, author of Riding in Cars with Boys, says "Dizzy is a testament to the power of hope. Weaver's courage and strength are so inspiring they encourage the same in the reader. If all of that isn't enough, the beauty and agility of the prose may make you regret reaching the last page."
