Summary: As a survivor of encephalitis . . .
Review: I have to say this is the BEST book I've read so far. I am only on page 59 but . . . Mr. Richmond has, so far, explained what it is like to go through (and survive) encephalitis (any type). I plan on having everyone I know read it. I can't seem to explain encephalitis to them as well as he does in this book. ...

Summary: Post encephalitis IS a new life!
Review: Lewis uses the words, "...permanently transformed by the experience..." "...must endure against formidable odds." In this book, Lewis has told his story in a manner which will warm the hearts of survivors, AND help loved ones and caregivers understand. I will very highly recommend this book to my survivor friends. A remarkable autobiography!

Summary: raising life
Review: This new work by Lewis Richmond is moving, touching beyond measure as the chronicle of his journey from a relatively healthy buddhist teacher turned businessman to falling deathly ill with a rare disease, to his slow, but sure recovery, not just of body, but of spirit and mind. I cried unashamedly as I read of his psychic pain and suffering, his rediscovered love for and by his wife, the openning of his heart. This is an inspiring story of the redemption of a psyche. The power of his experiences and the beauty and honesty with which he conveys them will have you crying, laughing, and moved beyond words. It did for me!
