In this final volume of her memoir trilogy, Dr. Erica Elliott begins her medical training as an enthusiastic, wide-eyed student but soon becomes a disillusioned doctor, sick from toxic chemicals at the clinic where she works. This health catastrophe, followed by a near-fatal accident and the harrowing, experimental brain surgery that saved her life, forces Erica off the path of mainstream medicine and onto a path that leads to her profound healing. More than a half-century after a Navajo grandmother offered a prophecy about her life, Erica fulfills it in ways she never could have imagined.

A beautifully written and read account of Dr. Elliott's professional and personal health journey into functional medicine and becoming a medical detective -- for both her patients and herself. Her story is both powerful and deeply moving. A great read, it was a hard book to put down, and a wonderful book for anyone looking for inspiration and education.

Oh, wow! What amazing and wholehearted adventures! I felt like I was there.

Memoirs are always hard, because the tone has to be just right. This one was: unabashed tales of successes and unselfconscious regaling of mistakes, all with hearty humor about herself.

The writing was utterly transparent, Sentences flowed like music. Fine variations in rhythm and vocabulary.

One thing I'm still thinking about is how something in the writing of this odyssey, which was entirely about the author, made me remember my own happy adventures. Without ever being preachy, it ennobled the reader.

The voice of the narrative, and her voice reading it, were both spot on.

Stunning! Erica Elliott harnessed her gifts of physical prowess and considerable mental agility to will her way to mountain summits and then to power her way through her medical training becoming a superb doctor. When both her physical and mental powers were stripped away she was brought to her knees only to rise again turning her tragedy into triumph. In the depths of her despair she called on a higher power that showed her the way to see her world differently. This book is about a miracle experienced in deepest humility as she transformed from doctor to healer. This true journey is narrated by the author with humor and "page turning" engagement. Listen to it only if you wish to be deeply inspired."
