"Amy Scher is a brave warrior and a wonderful writer" - Elizabeth Gilbert, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat Pray Love.
It turns out that sometimes, you can only find everything when you are willing to try anything ...
When everyone gave up on her, she risked her own life to find it
When Amy B. Scher was struck with undiagnosed late-stage, chronic Lyme disease, the best physicians in America labeled her condition incurable and potentially terminal. Deteriorating rapidly, she went on a search to save her own life--from the top experts in Los Angeles and the world-renowned Mayo Clinic in Minneapolis to a state-of-the-art hospital in Chicago.
After exhausting all of her options in the US, she discovered a possible cure--but it was a highly experimental stem cell treatment, only available in India, and had as much of a probability of killing her as it did of curing her.
Knowing the risks and armed with her self-created motto "when life kicks your ass, kick back," Amy convinced her loving but neurotic Jewish parents, packed her bags, and flew across the world anyway.

The true story of a fiery young woman's heartwarming and hilarious journey from near-death in California to a trip around the world in search of a cure from debilitating Lyme disease. Along the way, she discovers a world of cultural mayhem, goats wearing sweaters, radical medical treatment, an unexpected romance, and, most importantly, a piece of her life she never even knew she was missing.
