Opis

What happens when your reality comes to an abrupt edge? What if you determine that your best option is to jump? What do you focus on when in the middle of the free-fall? Twelve years into her career as a professional dancer, aerialist, and yoga teacher, a critical diagnosis forces Emily to make a life-altering decision: should she go through with a surgery that could end her struggle with chronic pain, but could also destroy her life as she knows it? With her career, her health, and her identity at risk, her future seems precarious at best. Journal entries, emails, text conversations, and notes from doctors appointments guide the reader through her story. Captured with unique insight, Emily reveals the powerful connection of our minds and our bodies, the tangle of mental and emotional turmoil associated with giving up that which defines us, and the vital influence of the people that surround us. Anatomy Riot is a bravely honest and strikingly vulnerable depiction of withstanding adversity with commitment and grace.
