Goodreads asked Sherrie Lowe:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Sherrie Lowe My health, and indeed it is, it's covered in my 2nd memoir Better or Dead. When I was 40 I got divorced and had two teenage sons to bring up singlehandedly. I had a job that I loved and had worked hard for, learning support assistant in a mainstream high school, I was a valued member of a team and I was also providing for myself and my sons, such a sense of achievement. As the saying goes though pride comes before a fall and I began to get strange attacks of weakness for no particular reason and within a few months I was at times bedridden, a difficult situation with children to bring up. There followed many tests all coming back negative, on paper I was perfectly well but my body was saying otherwise. The mystery was, what was the illness?
