Summary

"I didn't realize it would be 'a life for a life' looking back now. I thought it would be amazing. Life changing in a good way. I’d even go so far as saying that I thought it would be the making of me as a woman. Or at least be the ‘adaptation’ of me, in the best possible way.”

Come along and join Esi on her journey battling sickle cell anemia, and then going on to develop a life-debilitating complication, avascular necrosis, post-pregnancy with a child with complex abnormalities.

This young lady is a true warrior that turns tragedy to triumph as she proudly reveals her very own homemade remedy, which she swears by, to help alleviate the pain and stress brought on by her condition. This audiobook is well worth the listen, being a conversation starter around sickle cell anemia and the serious complications it does and can bring.

A Truly Amazing Journey

I was fortunate enough to meet the author of this very informative book at Leicester library. This book is indeed a story of triumph over adversity. I’m grateful for new knowledge around the debilitating condition known as sickle cell syndrome and its associated health effects. I recommend that everyone acquire such knowledge especially those in the medical profession. Thank you Esi for taking the time to share your journey and such detailed insights into the self help tips and advice.
