Synopsis

"Uncontrollable is UN-PUT-DOWN-ABLE. It’s 'The Good Fight' meets epilepsy... in the form of a really juicy weekend read.–Alisa Kennedy Jones bestselling author of Gotham Girl Interrupted: My Misadventures in Motherhood, Love, and Epilepsy

At 36-years-old, Casey Scott appears to have it all: a booming career as a civil rights litigator, a loving husband, and two sweet young children. But she also has epilepsy, and her worsening seizures threaten to destroy the life she toiled to build.

When her doctor says she is likely to die if her seizures are not controlled, Casey is at a crossroads: will she choose her career and lifelong aspirations, or her family and health?

The decisions she makes affect her marriage, children, and future in ways she could never expect.

Told by Casey and her husband, Uncontrollable is an emotional roller coaster that examines both what happens when the life we may be forced to live is not the life we planned to live, and the compromises we make to survive in the face of adversity.
