Rejoice In The Light: A Woman's Journey Out Of The Mystery Of Epilepsy is Amy E. Crane's candid and compelling autobiography of her experiences living with a condition of epilepsy from children, through her young adult years, and eventual brain surgery. Highly recommended for personal and community library collections, Rejoice In The Light also offers the reader a wealth of "reader friendly" and detailed information on important medical, emotional, and social aspects of epilepsy, including the side effects of seizure medications, and the numerous ways to help a friend, loved one, colleague with an epileptic condition.

Ms. Crane shares so vividly all aspects of her journey out of epilepsy; physical, emotional and spiritual. This book delves into the very soul of an epileptic in an effort to help the rest of us understand the disease. It's intimate nature will make you feel the author's fear, pain, and joy. Also, this book could be an invaluable resource for those living with epilepsy with it's extensive list of treatment centers and many significant insights from the author. Truly a story that champions the strength of the human spirit and the grace of God!

I went through the same type of brain surgery as did Amy went though so I was definitely interested in hearing her story about life with epilepsy and the brain surgery.

It was an excellent book!!!

Amy Crane's moving account of her lifelong battle with epilepsy and its successful cure by 1994 brain surgery is a tremendously moving account. One of the most fascinating aspects of it is the staggering amount of autobiographical detail she was able to recall from her childhood and young adulthood ... detail which greatly augments and enriches the book. An inspirational book for anyone who has to deal with a medical crisis, or knows anyone who does.
