Thank you, Nin, for your bravery in sharing your struggles with sudden hearing loss and vertigo from a virus! Your transformation from a high-performing STEM management executive to a passionate and uplifting SAHM is admirable. You showed the world the meaning of being able to pivot and continue personal growth in the face of adversity.
"Doctors wanted to conquer diseases at all costs, whereas patients wanted to live their best life possible."
This memoir took us through Nin's sensory loss, grief, adaptation, and resilience to reclaim her identity, with her family's unwavering support. This book is pure honesty in the good and the bad thoughts that permeate through one's mind, navigating chronic illness and monumental life changes. A lot of emotions were felt as a reader! The bike scene especially put me through an array of emotions.
I loved the inclusion of meaningful quotes at the beginning of the chapters and throughout the book and how they shifted as her mindset changed. My favourite was the Business Improvement Department motto: "Efficiency can take you down the wrong path faster."
Thank you, Nin, for sharing a copy of your book with me! ❤️
