Blending medical mystery with wit, sensitivity, and a sharp understanding of the human experience, One Tick Stopped the Clock offers hope and inspiration for anyone who can’t go back, but instead must move forward at a new pace.

An exquisitely crafted narrative that delicately unveils the journey of a young woman grappling with the challenges of tick-borne disease. Despite the gravity of her trials, the author's adept storytelling instills a sense of optimism, leaving readers uplifted, inspired, and filled with gratitude. A testament to the resilience of the human spirit, this book is a beacon of hope for anyone facing adversity.
