Synopsis "I Am Your Book: A Poetic Journey Through CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia (in English)"
"If words have the power to heal, this book is the perfect medicine" (Alex Howard). "Honest and heartfelt poetry, telling a story that needs to be heard" (Steven Camden, Polarbear). This beautiful book takes you on a poetic journey through the wilderness of CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. Each poem is a little window into her soul. Charlotte Jones bares all in this inspirational story of hope and healing. These poems not only cover the pain and despair of living with such a debilitating illness but also highlight the joy, love, peace, and acceptance she finds along the way. When dealing with extreme emotions, words repeat rhythmically in Charlotte's head over and over, until she releases them onto the page in the form of poetry. This has resulted in a raw, heartwarmingly honest, and sometimes humorous insight into the life of someone with CFS/ME/Fibromyalgia. By sharing her story, Charlotte hopes to help tackle the loneliness of those in its grasp, give those around them an insight into their journey, and raise awareness of the illness. "I laughed out loud and had tears streaming down my face all at the same time." "I felt so connected to it." "At last, a book that really helped me understand." "A beautiful read, capturing the daily life of CFS/ME and Fibromyalgia with passion and honesty." "A courageous book, written from the soul."
